Alberto Manguel

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Website: Go to Website

Alberto Manguel is an Argentine-born writer, translator, and editor. He is the author of numerous non-fiction books such as The Dictionary of Imaginary Places and A History of Reading The Library at Night and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey: A Biography , and novels such as News From a Foreign Country Came .

Manguel believes in the central importance of the book in societies of the written word where, in recent times, the intellectual act has lost most of its prestige. Libraries should be our essential symbol, not banks. Humans can be defined as reading animals, come into the world to decipher it and themselves.
