Reading Manifesto

“Books are a refuge for memory, a mirror in which we see our image and become more like who we want to be. Books are boats that carry the treasure of words. And fragile universes in which our strength lies.” With these words, the author presents us with one of the most eloquent arguments in praise of books and the love of reading, in a charming and enjoyable booklet that can be read in one sitting, yet its impact lasts a long time.
