Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Un brillante y provocador ensayo, donde Jorge Volpi entrelaza ciencia y literatura y demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas. Que pasa en mi cerebro cuando leo una novela o un cuento? Como y cuando aparecieron? Que parte de la mente inventa las anecdotas felices o los desenlaces tragicos? Por que sufrimos o gozamos con los personajes de los relatos y de que forma nosotros, los lectores, nos transformamos en esos personajes? No es acaso el yo nuestra mayor invencion? En este brillante y provocador ensayo, Jorge Volpi destierra la vieja idea de la ficcion como entretenimiento y sostiene, por el contrario, que las novelas y los cuentos han sido esenciales para la evolucion de la especie humana. Del descubrimiento de las neuronas espejo al origen de la conciencia y las emociones, y de las trampas de la memoria a loslaberintos de la inteligencia, el autor de En busca de Klingsor y No sera la Tierra refrenda su voluntad de entrelazar ciencia y literatura. Al final, Leer la mente demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas.

Since our brain basically employs the same mechanisms when dealing with reality or when creating or understanding fiction, we can conclude that fiction has existed since the first Homo sapiens walked the Earth. This illuminating essay stems from a central hypothesis which states that if fiction is such a powerful tool in the exploration of nature, then, fiction is reality.…
