In these essays, Alberto Manguel discusses the nature of books and literature as a moral imperative and explores the consequences of society's betrayal of its readers and writers. He covers writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar and G.K. Chesterton, as well as Che Guevara and Goethe.

Industry Reviews

"These are rich and various essays, ripe with interest. Manguel says that what matters most to literature is the existence of judicious readers; this collection will help to create more such."-The Financial Times "Splendid and eloquently expressed . . . Manguel's writing at its strongest and most original."-The Times Literary Supplement "Witty and elegant, a nice piece of book-making."-The Sunday Times (London)
