New Haven, Yale University Press, 2018. 146 S. 20 cm. OBrosch. Erste Ausgabe. - Alberto [Adrián] Manguel ist Schriftsteller, Übersetzer, Herausgeber u. Kritiker, würde sich aber eher als Leser und Bücherliebhaber bezeichnen. Von 2015 bis 2018 war er Direktor der Nationalbibliothek von Argentinien. 1948 in Buenos Aires geboren, lebte er in Israel, Argentinien, Europa, im Südpazifik, in Kanada u. den USA. Zu seinen früheren Büchern gehören The History of Reading, The Library at Night, A Reader on Reading u. Curiosity. Er lebt heute in Lissabon. - " In June 2015 Alberto Manguel prepared to leave his centuries-old village home in France's Loire Valley and reestablish himself in a one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Packing up his enormous, 35,000-volume personal library, choosing which books to keep, store, or cast out, Manguel found himself in deep reverie on the nature of relationships between books and readers, books and collectors, order and disorder, memory and reading. In this poignant and personal reevaluation of his life as a reader, the author illuminates the highly personal art of reading and affirms the vital role of public libraries." (Verlagstext). - Die deutsche Ausgabe erschien u.d. Titel "Die verborgene Bibliothek". - Neuwertiges Exemplar.
