Synopsis "La Biblioteca de Noche (in Spanish)"

La biblioteca de noche. Por Alberto Manguel.  Como todos los libros que Manguel ha escrito sobre el libro y la lectura, este que nos ocupa, es una invitación abierta a una lectura placentera. Un recorrido  por la historia y el destino de las grandes bibliotecas, que incluye  su historia personal como amante de los libros y de guardarlos amorosamente en su biblioteca.  Hermoso, nostálgico, memorioso. Una lectura encantadora para todos los que amamos los  libros.
 


Recomendado del librero. 


 


En los primeros años del siglo XXI, Alberto Manguel logró reunir todos sus libros en un antiguo granero remodelado, en el predio de su casa francesa, al sur del Loira. Allí, en la compañía de miles de volúmenes que habían estado dispersos durante décadas, Manguel escribió este viaje fascinante por bibliotecas del pasado y del presente, una exploración por la idea de preservación y retrato de época en los libros atesorados en un lugar y con un método. En el tiempo y en el espacio, de Oriente a Occidente, de la Antigüedad al laberinto infinito de internet, Manguel recorre los distintos perfiles de una biblioteca: el ejercicio de memoria, el taller de ideas, el espejo del universo, el monumento arquitectónico, el instrumento de exhibición de poder, la arbitraria imposición de una forma de clasificar, las exclusiones y los olvidos. Con una prosa accesible, que se dirige tanto a lectores por pasión como a lectores por oficio –investigadores, bibliotecarios, archivistas–, Manguel habla de bibliotecas públicas y privadas, libros imaginarios y apócrifos, y hasta bibliotecas que nunca existieron, o que nunca sabremos si llegaron a existir.

View Author's Page
Alberto Manguel is a writer, editor, translator, and essayist of Argentine-Canadian descent, born in Buenos Aires on March 13, 1948. Internationally recognized for his profound reflection on reading, books, and libraries, Manguel has dedicated much of his work to exploring the connection between human beings and the written word.

During his youth, he briefly worked as a reader for Jorge Luis Borges, an experience that deeply marked his life and his view of the act of reading. In the 1980s, he moved to Canada, where he became a citizen and developed much of his career as an author. He also lived in other countries, such as France and Germany, and has worked in various roles related to the publishing, academic, and library worlds.

Among his most famous books are A History of Reading (1996), The Library at Night (2006), and The Traveler with the Light Luggage (2011). His work blends personal memory, cultural history, and literary criticism, with a scholarly yet accessible style.

He was the director of the National Library of Argentina from 2016 to 2018. Considered a great contemporary humanist, Manguel continues to be an influential figure in thinking about written culture and reading as a form of knowledge and freedom.
