En 'Una historia de la lectura', Alberto Manguel nos guía a través de un fascinante recorrido de 6.000 años por el mundo de la palabra escrita. Este ensayo explora el papel del lector, a menudo olvidado en la historia de la literatura, desde las antiguas tablillas sumerias hasta los modernos CD-ROM. El autor combina estudios clásicos, psicología, historia, anécdotas y fantasía para ofrecer una perspectiva personal y universal sobre la lectura. El libro examina la evolución de la lectura a través de los tiempos, destacando a lectores influyentes como San Ambrosio, Diderot, Colette y Borges. Manguel ha consultado numerosas bibliotecas alrededor del mundo para crear una obra que se lee como una novela, llena de sorpresas para los amantes de los libros y la lectura, estableciendo un vínculo asombroso entre el mundo y la palabra escrita.
