Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. « The author believes it's time to debunk the myth that immigrants from Muslim countries are wildly different and pose a threat to the West. Drawing on voluminous demographic, statistical, scholarly and historical documentation, Saunders examines the real lives and circumstances of Muslim immigrants in the West: their politics, their beliefs, their observances and their degrees of assimilation. In the process he shatters the core claims that have built a murderous ideology and draws haunting historical parallels.».

SYNOPSIS: "Who shall be the master? The writer or the reader?" - Diderot. "Read in order to live." - Flaubert. "One must be an inventor to read well." - Emerson. A History of Reading is a rich and wonderful book - a treasury of knowledge, stories, and illustrations - that takes us on an unforgettable journey. Infinitely engaging and amusing, a sweeping exploration of what it means to be a reader of books, A History of Reading is a brilliant reminder of why we cherish the act of reading - despite distractions from the Inquisition to the lures of cyberspace. Albert Manguel is a lover of books and reading, and he brings a lover's delight and enthusiasm, passion and delicate care to his history of reading. His stories take us across a breathtaking range of time and experience. He bewitches his reader with tales of bewitched readers like him. From the invention of the reader to Pliny the Younger's first lip-synch in history; from the moment when Alexander the Great's conquering army watched, amazed, as their captain read a letter from his mother - but silently, to himself! - to reading clubs in medieval France and the beginnings of W. H. Smith in England; from the Great Camel Library of the Grand Vizir of Persia, who trained his camels to walk in alphabetical order, to Count Libri, most famous of book thieves; from the ancient delights of bedroom reading to the burning of books in Nazi Germany; from cuneiform and codexes to the invention of printing and Penguins; from the creation of eyeglasses to the hypnotics of hypertext-the story of reading is laid open for our pleasure. Alberto Manguel reminds us that readers live in books as well as among them: we find our own stories in books and traces of our lives. With every book that matters to us, from childhood into old age, we find our lives refreshed. He shows us what happens when we read; who we become; and how reading teaches us to live. He shows us how our reading habits have developed over the centuries, and how, ever since humans first transcribed their thoughts and deeds on clay and papyrus, the act of reading is itself a part of being human. Alberto Manguel has in international reputation as a writer, novelist, anthologist, translator and editor of great gifts ("both enthusiastic and meticulous.with a brilliant strong natural taste"--The Guardian). His acclaimed, award-winning works include The Dictionary of Imaginary Places, Meanwhile, in Another Part of the Forest, Black Water (volumes I and II), News from a Foreign Country Came, and The Gates of Paradise. He was b.
