Product details
- A passionate plea for the power of the written (and read) word - Newly translated by Eric Aichinger, contemporary illustrations and design by Ji Hyun Yu - Without a raised finger, classics and the forgotten, poetry and drama are devoured here, making the reader:in an accomplice of the writer. - Competent reading - Virginia Woolf's essay on a current topic in bibliophile packaging Suppose there were a Last Judgement, a final instance. Shouldn't we readers then get off at least a little bit better than the rest? Virginia Woolf is convinced that reading helps: possibly over there, but definitely here and now. But how? Where do we start reading, how do we know if we've found the right book for us, and more importantly, is intensive reading even the right thing to do given all the mass of text around us? The author has an answer to this as modest as it is convincing: read without rules and limits. "Because really, the only advice one person can give another about reading is: Take no advice except to follow your own instincts, use your own mind and come to your own conclusions. If we agree on this, I will take the liberty of offering you some ideas and suggestions that will not deprive you of this freedom, since it is the highest good of all readers" (from the text). For only attention, imagination and judgement help to absorb the book as a whole and to recognise its form, be it "a barn, a pigsty or a cathedral".
