Description
In his engaging essay, writer and book critic Jorge Carrion (born 1976) takes the reader on a journey through bookstores around the world. Together with the author, we visit Shakespeare and Company in Paris, Wells in Winchester, Green Apple Books in San Francisco, Librairie des Colonnes in Tangier, Strand Bookstore in New York, small shops and huge book superstores.
Carrion paints a picture of bookstores by viewing them, through the lens of space and time, as a unique, authentic place—an isolated world and an important cultural phenomenon. “Bookstores” is a travelogue of a living, curious observer, filled with stories from the universe of writing, publishing, and selling books.
In Carrion’s view, a bookstore is less a space for material transactions than a place where people and ideas gather—meetings capable of changing the world and lives.
