ENCYCLOPAEDIA CURIOSA or The Magic of Hidden Places

"It was one of these stores you find once in a while, in a backstreet or a narrow alleyway. One little oasis of solemnity in the chaos of a bustling metropolis. A tiny, weird museum for itself, where the piled books reach to the ceiling, where little treasures are hidden between stacks of old paper, where the wooden shelves are studded with oddities.
One of these places you find once and then never again, no matter how long you search for them."

A collection of short story about the hidden places of this world, the silent, the tiny places, the places where no one goes, those far above, the places that time forgot.
