Synopsis "Librerías (in Spanish)"

Desde su publicación en 2013, traducido a las lenguas más importantes del mundo, Librerías se ha convertido en el título de referencia internacional sobre un tema que hasta ahora no había recibido la atención que merece. Hibridando el ensayo cultural y la crónica de viaje, Jorge Carrión recorre los tiempos y los espacios de los libreros y las librerías más importantes de la historia y la geografía mundiales. En paralelo dibuja una historia personal de la literatura y de la cultura, y su autobiografía como lector.
«A menudo sorprendente y siempre apasionante» (Le Nouvel Observateur).
«Discípulo en erudición y bibliofilia de Alberto Manguel» (Le Monde).
«Reconstruye el mapa de las librerías de medio mundo y su filosofía» (La Stampa).
«Maravillosamente ambicioso» (Bookanista).
«Imprescindible» (Enrique Vila-Matas, El País).
«Espléndido» (Juan Villoro, El Periódico de Cataluña).
«Un ensayo maravilloso sobre un mundo crepuscular. Periodismo cultural de nivel estratosférico» (Enric González, Jot Down).
«Extraordinario recorrido por las librerías del mundo» (Mathias Enard).
«Se lee como una novela de detectives. Jorge Carrión trae esa cualidad excitante de los libros que se leen de un tirón a la forma del ensayo extenso» (Iain Sinclair).
«Fascinante. Una auténtica búsqueda del tesoro» (Cees Nooteboom).
«Un libro con múltiples virtudes, que transmite algo difícil de lograr: una experiencia que inmediatamente captura la memoria afectiva del lector» (Ricardo Piglia).
