Blood of the books

The second part of the book "The Secret Lives of Books" by Santiago Posteguillo "Blood of Books", after the first part of the trilogy "The Forgotten Literature History" continues the Spanish novelist and academic Santiago Posteguillo the adventure of searching and storytelling together in the stories of forgotten books and in the biographies of their authors and the shadows that surrounded them, to trace this time the blood of books and the blood of their authors in the second part titled "Blood of Books", and it was mentioned in the foreword on the author's own words: "The book 'Blood of Books' offers the reader a different journey through the history of writing. Behind the titles that it visits in this voyage through time, there are confusions and mysteries, and there is blood flowing at a steady rhythm: it is the blood of writers that flows silently between the lines of their books. On our way, we will be surprised by death sentences, lost graves, sword duels in the darkness of the night or gunfire over the white snow... Truly good literature is that which makes our hearts race, makes us emotional, and transports us to other worlds, and which convinces us that what is written is more realistic than reality itself, and that it senses and occupies spirits and flows like blood in the temples and hands. In 'Blood of Books' is an invitation not to fear the red liquid of emotions, as writers, with their skill and genius of intuition, turn it into black ink, perhaps so we can rethink life, wonder where we came from, where we are going, and who we are. To read this book, the reader's blood type does not matter. All that matters is to follow the passion for reading. But there is another detail of importance during this journey. It is the abundance of blood in the veins."
