The Gifts of Reading Description
The Gifts of Reading
From the acclaimed author of The Old Ways and Landmarks -- an essay
on the joy of reading, for anyone who has ever loved a bookEvery
book is a kind of gift to its reader, and the act of giving books
is charged with a special emotional resonance. It is a meeting of
three minds (the giver, the author, the recipient), an exchange of
intellectual and psychological currency, that leaves each
participant enriched. Here Robert Macfarlane recounts the story of
a book he was given as a young man, and how he managed eventually
to return the favour, though never repay the debt.From one of the
most lyrical writers of our time comes a perfectly formed gem, a
lyrical celebration of the transcendent power and humanity of the
given book.
