About this ebook:
«Uno scrittore scrive quello che può, un lettore legge quello che vuole», disse una volta Jorge Luis Borges. Intendeva che il lettore gode di una libertà che allo scrittore è preclusa: libertà di immaginare e di imparare, certo, ma anche libertà di leggere o non leggere un libro, di decidere cosa è o non è un classico, di ignorare le mode o gli obblighi di lettura. Un lettore o è libero o non è. Forse non è eccessivo definire Alberto Manguel, scrittore, traduttore, critico, direttore della Biblioteca nazionale argentina, il «lettore definitivo». E infatti nel corso di una vita intera dedicata ai libri ha costruito una biblioteca personale di oltre 35 000 volumi. Ma cosa succede quando si ritrova a dover traslocare dalla sua casa nella Loira a un piccolo appartamento newyorkese? Succede che deve scegliere quali volumi portare con sé e quali lasciare in un deposito, passarli in rassegna, uno dopo l'altro, e ascoltare la loro voce. La biblioteca di Manguel, a parte una manciata di esemplari, non possiede volumi particolarmente rari: è composta tanto di umili tascabili quanto di volumi rilegati in pelle, di novità luccicanti e di malconci libri che si porta dietro in ogni trasloco fin da quando era bambino, libri belli e libri brutti. Il fatto è che i libri raccontano tutti una storia. Non solo quella che c'è scritta dentro (che a volte non è nemmeno la più importante), ma quella che si portano dietro. Perché ogni biblioteca è un luogo di memoria: sugli scaffali si succedono non solo i volumi ma anche il ricordo di quando leggemmo quel determinato testo, la città in cui l'abbiamo comprato, la persona che ce lo consigliò, il piccolo o grande dolore che quella lettura ha saputo lenire. Una libreria è una collezione di malinconie e di gioie, un repertorio di persone amate o dimenticate, un tributo alla speranza (o all'illusione) che quell'inerme massa di carta possa in qualche modo restituirci l'immagine degli individui che siamo. Cosí, mentre imballava la sua biblioteca e ne ascoltava la voce, Manguel ha scritto questa luminosa elegia con «dieci digressioni» che è tanto un diario di letture quanto una meditazione appassionata e urgente sulla lettura nel tempo presente; un'autobiografia e una riflessione sull'importanza delle biblioteche pubbliche e delle librerie per cucire insieme il tessuto civile di una comunità; una storia d'amore e di libertà degna di Eco e di Borges.
