In this marvelous book, acclaimed around the world, Alberto Manguel takes us on a fascinating exploration of what it means to be a reader of books. A History of Reading is a brilliant reminder of why we cherish the act of reading-despite distractions throughout the ages, from the Inquisition to the lures of cyberspace. He shows us what happens when we read; who we become; and how reading teaches us how to live. He reminds us that we live in books as well as among them-how we find our own stories in books, and traces of our lives. He shows us how our reading habits have developed over the centuries, and how, ever since humans first transcribed their thoughts and deeds on clay and papyrus, the act of reading is itself a part of being human. Alberto Manguel is a lover of reading, and he brings a lover's delight and enthusiasm to his history of reading. His stories take us across a breathtaking range of time and experiences. From the invention of the reader to Pliny the Younger's first lip-synch in history; from the moment when Alexander the Great's conquering army watched, amazed, as their captain read a letter from his mother-but silently-to himself-to reading clubs in medieval France; from the Great Camel Library of the Grand Vizir of Persia, who trained his camels to walk in alphabetical order, to the ancient delights of bedroom reading and the modern horrors of book burning in Nazi Germany; from cuneiform and codexes to the invention of printing and to Penguins; from the creation of eyeglasses to the hypnotics of hypertext-the story of reading is laid open here for our pleasure.

Award-winning editor and writer Alberto Manguel is a consummate lover of books. I suspect that reading, for him, is akin to breathing--that intimate, that essential. Manguel's widely varied publications include anthologies of erotica (The Gates of Paradise) and nature writing (By the Light of the Glow-Worm Lamp), a novel (News from a Foreign Country Came), and, in a category of its own, the classic Dictionary of Imaginary Places. A History of Reading is a tour de force, an elegant book, handsomely illustrated, thoroughly researched. As an anecdotal and highly personal history, it celebrates the joys, delights, and endless quirky details of reading, writing, and books. Manguel points out that a book, unlike life, can be reread and relived. Reading can also be a private or a public act. In a chapter titled "Being Read To," he explores the role of the lector in 19th-century Cuba, when tobacco workers paid one of their number to read aloud political tracts, histories, novels, and poetry while they rolled cigars. From the mysteries of cuneiform to the visual language of an Absolut vodka ad, Manguel ranges from our earliest written languages up to the present age of information. He sneaks behind private walls to give us a view of medieval Japanese women reading in their chambers and takes us back to the bookstores, stationery shops, and literary cafes of his youth in Buenos Aires. A History of Reading is, quite simply, a bible for bibliophiles, the sort of people who would ask, as Miss Prothero inquires of the firemen standing among the cinders of her burnt house in Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales: "Would you like anything to read?" --Mark Frutkin, Paperback, Label: Penguin (Non-Classics), Penguin (Non-Classics), Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1900, Studio: Penguin (Non-Classics), Verkaufsrang: 1348553.

This wide-ranging and erudite exploration of the topic of reading is suffused with the spirit of Manguel's fellow Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges. Manguel takes us through the history of reading as if leading us room by room through the infinite library Borges constructed in one of his famous stories. Manguel's approach is not chronological, but thematic. His chapter topics jump from attempts to censor reading to the physical surroundings favored by readers, from the limitations of translations to the esotericism of books written for a restricted readership. Throughout he moves easily through time and geography to quote anecdotes and examples from diverse sources. Manguel's enthusiasm, and the impressive breadth of his reading, will make his readers eager to rush to the nearest library.

At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book-that string of confused, alien ciphers-shivered into meaning, and at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader. Noted essayist and editor Alberto Manguel moves from this essential moment to explore the six-thousand-year-old conversation between words and that hero without whom the book would be a lifeless object: the reader. Manguel brilliantly covers reading as seduction, as rebellion, and as obsession and goes on to trace the quirky and fascinating history of the reader's progress from clay tablet to scroll, codex to CD-ROM.
