Alberto Manguel writes in A History of Reading, “Throughout the South, it was common for plantation owners to hang any slave who tried to teach the others how to spell… The slave-owners (like dictators, tyrants, absolute monarchs and other illicit holders of power) were strong believers in the power of the written word. They knew, far better than some readers, that reading is a strength that requires barely a few first words to become overwhelming. Someone able to read one sentence is able to read all… For all these reasons, reading had to be forbidden… An illiterate crowd is easiest to rule; since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.”
— Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World by Irene Vallejo
We can still read words on papyrus; we don't know how long it will be possible to read a text inscribed in a 2004 CD. This is not a complaint, just a reminder.
-- Alberto Manguel

Babel / Actes Sud
Parce que la lecture est peut-être avant tout une "conversation", tout lecteur éprouve le besoin de "répondre" aux textes qui l'interpellent et confèrent à sa propre vie un surcroît d'existence.

Diogo Ramada Curto elucida-nos um pouco acerca do "folhetim #AlbertoManguel".
"Do pouco que se sabe acerca de Alberto Manguel, há dados que necessitam de ser confirmados. Mas, de modo geral, será sempre necessário escrutinar o figurão em causa, uma vez que lhe foram concedidas condições de privilégio, pelo menos à escala da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa."
