The Bookstore That Only Opens at Night
La librería que solo abre de noche
In the city center, among noisy streets and bright signs, there was one unusual shop.
En el centro de la ciudad, entre calles ruidosas y letreros brillantes, había una tienda poco común.
Its doors opened only when the sun went down behind the horizon.
Sus puertas se abrían solo cuando el sol se escondía en el horizonte.
It was called “The Moon Page.”
Se llamaba “La Página de la Luna”.
The owner, Mr. Levi, believed that books reveal their secrets only at night.
El dueño, el señor Levi, creía que los libros revelan sus secretos solo de noche.
The shelves were filled with old volumes, modern novels, and rare editions that were hard to find during the day.
Los estantes estaban llenos de viejos volúmenes, novelas modernas y ediciones raras que era difícil encontrar de día.
The first visitors arrived around ten in the evening.
Los primeros visitantes llegaban alrededor de las diez de la noche.
They were students, poets, artists, and just night wanderers.
Eran estudiantes, poetas, artistas y simples noctámbulos.
The store always played soft jazz music, and the air smelled of freshly brewed coffee.
En la tienda siempre sonaba suave música de jazz y el aire olía a café recién hecho.
Every Friday, Mr. Levi hosted a “Night Gathering” — a reading evening where anyone could read their favorite excerpt aloud.
Cada viernes, el señor Levi organizaba un “Encuentro Nocturno”, una velada de lectura donde cualquiera podía leer en voz alta su pasaje favorito.
Sometimes tourists, who happened to wander into the narrow street, would step in and be amazed by the atmosphere.
A veces, los turistas que entraban por casualidad en la callejuela quedaban sorprendidos por la atmósfera.
At night, you could meet people there who would never cross paths during the day.
Por la noche, allí se podían encontrar personas que nunca se cruzarían en el día.
And at dawn, the shop closed, and the city fell asleep again under the morning light.
Y al amanecer, la tienda cerraba y la ciudad volvía a dormirse bajo la luz de la mañana.
But those who had visited “The Moon Page” knew — they had found a place they would want to return to.
Pero quienes habían visitado “La Página de la Luna” sabían que habían encontrado un lugar al que querrían regresar.
