In this reflective work, Alberto Manguel revisits his personal journey as a reader and book collector, contemplating the profound connections between books, memory, and society. As he prepares to move from his historic home in France to New York City, he explores themes of order, chaos, and the enduring significance of literature. Manguel’s insights encompass both personal reflections and broader reflections on the vital role of libraries and the cultural importance of preserving books worldwide.
