In this essay, Marcel Proust passionately defends reading and reflects on the power that books have in our lives. Originally conceived as a preface to the translation of John Ruskin's 'Sesame and Lilies,' this text became an independent essay due to its density and richness. Proust explores how reading can be a form of pure and tranquil friendship, and how books can influence our perception of the world and ourselves. This book belongs to the Mínima Minor collection.
