Reseña del editor: All his life, Alberto Manguel has turned to books, so it's not surprising that on a trip through Canada the writer and scholar began to see affinities between the book open before him and the world around him. An article in the daily paper would be suddenly illuminated by a passage in the book; a long reflection would be prompted by a single word. He decided to keep a record of these moments, rereading a book a month, and forming a reading diary: a volume of notes, reflections, impressions of travel, of friends, of events public and private, all ellicited by his reading. From Don Quixote (August) to The Island of Dr. Moreau (February) to Kim (April), Manguel leads us on an enthralling adventure in literature and life, and demonstrates how, for the passionate reader, the two are inextricably linked.
