Nota de la solapa
Have you ever mourned the destruction of the Library of Alexandria and the innumerable manuscripts that perished when it burned? Do you dream of owning a first edition of The Great Gatsby, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, or The Sun Also Rises to cradle in your arms and admire on your shelf? Have you gleaned wisdom from an old copy of Fahrenheit 451 that you never returned to your high school library? Do you sometimes, just for a second, regret the introduction of the internet and e-mail? German author Burkhard Spinnen revisits these moments of bibliophilia mixed with anguish through a personal and historical journey of the books we encounter and the places we meet them. With anecdotes of serendipitously finding vintage copies of literary classics and bemoaning the loaned book you'll never get back, Spinnen reminds us that even if the eBook has made reading during a commute easier, it will never bring us as much pride as a well-stocked shelf.
