Ex Libris Book Reviews
Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman Book Summary
"Ex Libris proporcionará momentos placenteros que los adictos a los libros reconocerán."
Alain de Botton
Como ocurre con muchos lectores voraces, para Anne Fadiman los libros que ha leído se han convertido en otros tantos capítulos de su historia personal. Los dieciocho capítulos que componen este volumen dan cuenta de una relación apasionada con los libros y con el lenguaje.
Ex Libris es un libro que trata de otros libros: de cómo comprarlos, de dónde y cómo leerlos, de cómo tratarlos. Con una prosa llena de encanto, Fadiman pasa con soltura de las anécdotas acerca de personajes como Coleridge u Orwell a divertidas historias de su familia. Dado que de pequeña jugaba a construcciones con los volúmenes de la biblioteca paterna ("Mis castillos ancestrales") y que solo se consideró verdaderamente ligada por el vínculo matrimonial cuando su marido y ella consiguieron por fin idear un sistema para unir sus respectivas bibliotecas ("Matrimonio de bibliotecas"), la autora es sin duda la persona más indicada para hablar sobre el arte de las dedicatorias, los perversos placeres de la búsqueda de erratas, los encantos de las palabras largas y las satisfacciones de la lectura en voz alta.
Una lectura imprescindible para los que aman los libros, para los que aman las palabras y, sobre todo, una lectura que nos hará comprender que muchas otras personas comparten esta pasión tan particular.
