The personal library collection of Anthony Burgess at the Library of the University of Angers

 

In 1998, thanks to Mrs. Liana Burgess, two large collections of books belonging to Anthony Burgess were donated to the University of Angers library : the first being Burgess's library from his home in Provence in the south of France ; the second being his collection from his home on the isle of Malta.

The works used to be housed in a room intended to evoke the memory of Anthony Burgess thanks to the presence of some of his personal effects : electronic console organ, work table, book satchel, typewriter, and cigar box. The room is now used for other purposes (since October 2014), and all the books have been stored in another location at the University library.

La bibliothèque personnelle d'Anthony Burgess à la Bibliothèque universitaire d'Angers 

 

En 1998 sont entrés à la BU d'Angers, grâce à Mme Liana Burgess, deux importants ensembles de livres ayant appartenu à Anthony Burgess :
- la bibliothèque de sa maison de Provence
- la bibliothèque de Malte.
De 2005 à 2014, les visiteurs de la BU ont pu profiter d'une salle dédiée à la mémoire de l'écrivain, que l'ancien directeur O. Tacheau avait fait aménager. On y trouvait une partie de la collection de livres d'A. Burgess et des objets personnels : orgue électrique, table, cartable, machine à écrire, coffret à cigares. Cette salle a été affectée à d'autres usages en octobre 2014 et l'ensemble des livres remis en magasin. La galerie de photos ci-dessous témoigne donc d'un état révolu.
