While travelling in Calgary, Alberto Manguel was struck by how the novel he was reading seemed to reflect the world he was living in. An article in the daily paper would be suddenly illuminated by a passage in the novel; a long reflection would be prompted by a single word. He decided to keep a record of these moments, rereading a book a month, and formed A Reading Diary: a volume of notes, impressions of travel, of friends, of public and private events, all elicited by his reading.… (mer)

Got through it, with a lot of skimming. An apt & revealing sample from a bit in which Manguel lists evaluations of memoirs: Auden, quoting an Icelandic proverb: 'Every man enjoys the smell of his own farts.'"" ( )

Numa feliz caracterização, George Steiner definiu Alberto Manguel como o D.Juan das Bibliotecas.

E é nesse espírito que o autor candiano de origem argentina, se apresenta neste misto de diário de leitura, bloco de notas e crítica literária.

Como pano de fundo, um profundo amor pelos livros.

É verdade que esta obra não tem a mesma força do seu mais popular trabalho, o imprescindível Uma História da Leitura (Lisboa:Ed.Presença,1998), cuja primeira parte consiste numa das mais fascinantes narrativas já feitas sobre o prazer dos livros e da literatura.

Mas mesmo não sendo brilhante, não deixa de ser saboroso acompanhar Manguel - um assumido bibliófilo - pelas páginas de Cervantes, Conan Doyle, Bioy Casares, Machado de Assis, Goethe e outros.

Tudo mesclado com reflexões sobre a vida, o estado do mundo - a Guerra do Iraque está sempre presente - e as observações do autor, a respeito das suas múltiplas peregrinações, que nos levam de Buenos Aires ao interior de França com várias paragens pelo meio.

Sobre Portugal algumas passagens nem sempre acertadas.

Fala de Coimbra e sua «refinada biblioteca barroca», cita uma passagem dos Lusíadas a respeito do deslumbramento do poder, mas confunde D.Sebastião com D.Manuel II.

Manguel diz que «a leitura é uma conversa». Aqui registou uma dúzia desses diálogos. Só é pena que se tenha limitado aos doze meses do ano...! ( )

J'ai adoré cette idée qu'a eue Manguel de mélanger réflexions sur ses livres préférés avec souvenirs qu'ils évoquent, vie quotidienne et autres livres qui peuplent sa bibliothèque. On a l'impression d'entrer dans une intimité, sans jamais l'enfreindre, et de découvrir non seulement des livres et des auteurs, mais aussi un homme. Le lecteur découvre des mondes et des idées littéraires, et aussi un vécu, les nombreux pays qu'a connus Manguel, ses expériences et ses impressions. Il communique ainsi sa passion pour la lecture et les livres de façon très authentique et sincère. Voici ma propre bibliothèque encore enrichie! ( )

Life and literature are seldom closer than in the writings of Alberto Manguel. In this personal book he relates his experience of reading over the course of one year. It is a compendium of notes , reflections, and impressions of both reading and travel, his life and friendships as illuminated by his reading. This "Diary" can be read as a memoir or used as a reference guide to one's own reading. The texts are all worthwhile; I found some old favorites, new authors and classic texts all within Manguel's reading annual. This little book, slightly more than two hundred pages, has Rabelaisian qualities confined in a little space. There are lists, wide-ranging comments, thoughts, statements, beliefs, pronouncements, and a veritable litany of the delights of living the reading life.
The subtitle of the book, "A Passionate Reader's Reflections on a Year of Books", captures the essence of the text. For Manguel is a "passionate reader" in every sense of that phrase and his reflections are illuminating. I would welcome further annuals like this, and find myself challenged to make my own. For like the author, I consider myself a "passionate reader". ( )

"Um ano de leituras, sob a forma de diário: mês após mês, o autor relata-nos as suas impressões de leitor apaixonado. E assim vão surgindo grandes autores e livros excepcionais, de sempre: Cervantes e o Dom Quixote, Machado de Assis e As Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, Goethe e As Afinidades Electivas..."

There are books that we skim over happily, forgetting one page as we turn to the next; others that we read reverently, without daring to agree or disagree; others that offer mere information and preclude our commentary; others still that, because we have loved them so long and so dearly, we can repeat word by word, since we know them, in the truest sense, by heart.
- From the forward -
We have been in our house in France for just over a year, and already I have to leave, to visit my family in Buenos Aires.
