The art of reading - Alberto Manguel

Manguel says: "There are certain books that form, in themselves, an ideal library," perhaps this book is one of them. Financial Times thirty-nine reflections on the joy of reading, through which Alberto Manguel takes us on an exceptional literary journey fueled by Homer's and Dante's narrations, and topics extending from Pinocchio to Alice, from Borges to Che Guevara. Manguel shows how words add harmony to the world and grant us "a few safe places, as real as paper and as refreshing as ink, providing us with shelter and a table as we pass through the dark and unknown forest."
