Description

A journey around the world's most famous bookshops reveals the magic that happens in these spaces. Jorge Carrión takes readers to iconic bookstores like Shakespeare & Co, Wells, Green Apple Books, and others, sharing stories of thinkers, poets, and dreamers who have shaped literature and ideas. Bookshops is a travelogue that explores the role of these places in today's world, where physical bookstores face challenges from e-readers and online retailers. Yet, Carrión argues for the importance of these spaces, highlighting their potential to transform lives and foster meaningful encounters between people and their ideas. Translated from Spanish by Peter Bush, this book offers a compelling vision for the future of traditional bookshops, one that is both hopeful and grounded in observation.
