«Del vicio de los libros» is the essay collection by Gladstone, Wharton, Roosevelt, Carroll, Roberts and Woolf, published by Trama editorial in paperback.
Although they seem to deal with the storage of books, their theft or the vices they awaken, the collected texts are an apology for reading and a praise of the reader. Gladstone, Roosevelt, Wharton, Woolf, Roberts and Carroll write from their condition as readers and share the idea that the experience of reading need not leave the pages.
The book belongs to the Largo Recorrido collection. Translation and introduction by Íñigo García Ureta; first edition, Madrid, 2019.
Work aimed at bibliophiles and readers interested in publishing, libraries and classics.
Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
