Into the looking-glass wood
Description
"Alberto Manguel has assembled a collection of highly personal and original essays.
From his adventures in childhood reading to his first encounters with the evils of prejudice; from a meditation on the death of Che Guevara to a memoir of the passions of the great blind poet Borges; from a tour of his library to evocations of favorite writers, Into the Looking-Glass Wood is a voyage deep into the subversive heart of language, fired by the author's humanity, insatiable curiosity, and steadfast belief in the power, mystery, and delight of the written word."--BOOK JACKET.
