This article reflects, based on the novel The Paris Library, by Janet Skeslien Charles, framed on the historical plan of the American Library in Paris during World War II, the topics of finitude, forms of crisis and violence, the right to literature, imaginative creation and narrative imagination, as frameworks to understand the library as a space to inhabit, in which reading is made available as a welcoming gesture in times of uncertainty and conflict.

Keywords : Janet Skeslien Charles; historical fiction; World War II; library; hermeneutics.
