Book
Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro es una apología de la lectura y una alabanza del lector, entendiendo por lector a aquella persona vehemente y excéntrica que entabla con los libros la misma relación que un gato con una pantufla vieja. A diferencia de otros adictos ?léase: coleccionistas, escritores, bibliotecarios?, quien se define como «lector» es una persona distinta de aquella que colecciona, escribe o trabaja con libros? incluso si ambas comparten un mismo rostro en el carnet de identidad. Las autoras y los autores de los textos que reunimos en estas páginas fueron muchas cosas a lo largo de sus vidas. Pero aquí solo son, por convicción y decisión propia, lectores. Como Borges, están tan satisfechos con sus lecturas que dejan que los demás se enorgullezcan de lo que han hecho o escrito. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
