Inspect Phantoms On The Bookshelves Rendered By Jacques Bonnet Released As Ebook

so. Its main benefit is giving me reinforcement to smile benignly at those who question my sanity when they see the bookshelves more arriving next week the benefit and 'cost ' of volunteering at the friends of the library where books are almost free.
Bonnet has,, so I'm a lightweight, Um livro que começa bem com o relato da candidatura de Fernando Pessoa emao lugar de conservadorbibliotecário no Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães em Cascais e que se prolonga numa toada deliciosa.


Muitas vezes dei por mim a reverme nas considerações de Jacques Bonnet sobre os livros, os leitores, os escritores, os hábitos de leitura ou a forma de organização das bibliotecas pessoais.
E sobretudo, assentindo sempre ao quadro apresentado dos “viciados” em livros, dos que PRECISAM de viver rodeados de livros para se sentirem, de facto, vivos.


“A nós, o que nos espanta, quando entramos na casa de alguém, é a ausência de livros, ou o aspecto ético da biblioteca de um confrade, ou então ver os volumes perfeitamente arrumados, às vezes protegidos por vidraças, e que sabemos estarem ali apenas para impressionar.
” P.

Os meus livros respiram em estantes sem vidros e cheiram a pó E os vossos
A celebration of books by a man who has a collection of,books.
Mr. Bonnet writes about his books, other collectors, methods of organizing books, his very interesting theory of how fictional characters are more real than authors, why he can't bring himself to get rid of a book: "It is true that the Essai de grammaire sloven Essay on Slovenian grammar by Claude Vicenot is unlikely ever to be of the slightest use to me.
But this is a souvenir from several visits to Ljubljana, and I would feel that I was blotting out my past if I got rid of it.
", and whatever other topics concerning books come into his mind, If it weren't so cogently written, it would seem like a drunken rant written by someone in love with books,
At one point, Mr, Bonnet does sober up enough to remark: "At the age of eighteen, one does not take a conscious decision to be burdened.
. . my italics with,books one day in the future, "

Jacques Bonnet is entertaining, but I found it hard to identify with him, I'm more like two other men he mentions: "Gilbert Lely who apparently always kept one hundred books on his shelves, and whenever he bought one book he jettisoned another.
" That's actually a bit extreme for me, but I could see myself as one of George Perec's friends "who decided, for some reason as surreal as it is incomprehensible, on the ideal number as".
That seems like a reasonable number even though right now, I have many more than that, As the years have gone by and my reading world has become larger, I feel less of a need to "own" it.


I can't complete this without mentioning my favorite passage in Phantoms on the Bookshelves:
"I still have a photo, taken with Nicole Zand, in Lipiza inor, by Eugen Bavcar, a Slovenian photographer who is blind.
"

I enjoyed this book, but it's not one that will remain on my shelvesbooks or otherwise,


Leggere e scoprire di essere affetti da bibliomania, Ti dici che in fondo non è grave,
Il fatto è che, prima di arrivare alla scoperta, i libri si sono moltiplicati, e non capisci come sia potuto accadere,
Nellattesa di trovare una risposta spuntano le domande: collezionista o lettore insaziabile
Cosa ti ha spinto a scegliere quei libri Una ragione ci sarà, o dieci cento mille
Urge però trovargli una collocazione, quindi meglio rimandare la soluzione ai quesiti.

Sì, però con quale criterio sistemare i volumi Già perché catalogare una moltitudine di libri non è cosa semplice, Si aprono infinite possibilità, e se non ci credete, lo farete a partire da pagina,
A proposito: dove leggete Quando In che posizione Cosa succede quando leggete

Ho sorriso e persino riso, leggendo questo volumetto che parla di amore/attrazione per i libri.
Ci sono spunti per nuove letture, aneddoti e citazioni interessanti,
Una per esempio mi costringerà a fare una ricerca perché, come la metto adesso che si dubita dell'esistenza di Louise Labé Eh sì, si mormora che i suoi libri siano stati scritti da un gruppo di poeti lionesi, tutti frequentatori della tipografia di Jean de Tourne M.
Huchon, Louise Labé, une créature de papier, Droz,, Ho già preparato cappello e lente per dare inizio allindagine,

“La mia biblioteca è popolata da centinaia di migliaia di personaggi, alcuni reali e altri fittizi, Quelli reali sono i cosiddetti personaggi immaginari delle opere letterarie, quelli fittizi sono gli scrittori”,
Ho chiuso il libro, ho alzato gli occhi, ho sorriso e salutato tutti i personaggi che abitano la casa,

P. S. Leggo a pagina: “Jean Cocteau nel Journal racconta che nel, reduce dall'aver visto I ragazzi terribili di JeanPierre Melville dove si sentiva un pezzo di Vivaldi per pianoforte, non riuscì a trovare in tutta Parigi, una sola incisione delle Quattro stagioni.
”
Ora, non voglio fare la pignola, ma qui ho avuto un sobbalzo, Passi affermare che sentì un pezzo di Vivaldi suonato al pianoforte, ma non un pezzo di Vivaldi "per" pianoforte, . . ma questa è un'altra storia. Però però, Vivaldi non ha composto pezzi per tale strumento,
Nulla di grave, solo un leggero fastidio,

E non metto la quinta stella,

Leggetelo! Ne vale la pena! :
I am so buying myself my own copy of this book, As a self confessed bibliophile and avid reader, I recognise my own joys, choices and dilemmas in every page from the constant issue of where to store one's books went with the buy a house solution to how to categorise and shelve them and the ever present questions from all those who just don't understand the power the printed page holds over us.
Bonnet even manages to capture the thought and reasoning behind the need to keep hold of books, regardless of whether they will be read again or not, something I have been trying to put into words for years.
The only problem with this is that Bonnet's library is far bigger than mine and my jealousy is encouraging me to go out and remedy the situation.
But I can't blame the book for that, A beautiful homage to books and bibliomania, It's main theme is based on Borges "Paradise is library, " The book is crammed with elegant aphorisms and remarkable anecdotes, like the description of a lithograph by Daumier called "the booklover in heaven", which perfectly illustrates the fascination rarity holds for the bibliophile.
It shows a man thumbing through a little book and explaining to another booklover, "I can't tell you how happy I am.
. . I've just found theAmsterdam edition of Horace for fifty ecus it's very valuable because every page is covered with misprints!" Jacques Bonnet works in the French publishing industry, and between his profession and a selfprofessed case of bibliomania, he has a personal collection of some,books.
Phantoms on the Bookshelves is a brief, breezy reflection on a lifetime spent bookcollecting, sprinkled with quotations, aphorisms and anecdotes.
Bonnet doesn't develop a lot of his ideas, and I disagreed with several of them, but this is nonetheless an enjoyable trifle.
There is no joy akin to two bibliophiles finding each other, First, you see the sudden sharp look in the eye upon the suspicion that they may have found another of their own.
Then the coded test, as one affecting nonchalance drops the name PérezReverte, A lightning bolt links the eyes of both, Everyone else is cut out of the conversation, The two fairly resurrect in their own world that wouldifitcouldbutitcant have room for you,
Jacques Bonnets Phantoms On The Bookshelves, is a love letter to bibliophiles everywhere and anyone who needs their own library, even if that library has but a single, treasured book.
Bonnet divides “bibliomaniacs” into two basic categories: collectors and manic readers, Sometimes they overlap.

For the bibliomaniac, “the book is the precious material expression of a past emotion, or the chance of having one in years to come, and to get rid of it would bring the risk of a serious sense of loss.
Whereas a collector frets obsessively about the books he does not yet possess, the fanatical reader worries about no longer owning those books traces of his past or hopes for the future which he has read once and may read again someday.
”
Books grant an internal freedom, They enable ones mind to travel, learn, and experience limitlessly, How can one be away from the very object that contains this magic Hello, my name is Marilyn and I am a bibliomaniac Hi, Marilyn!
Bonnet has a chapter devoted solely to the question that few bibliomaniacs ever feel totally satisfied with Organizing The Bookshelves.
By alphabet By Color By Genre And there are some proximities that simply cannot be! What if your Vargas Llosa found itself next to your Garcia Marquez after the former blackened the eye of the latter for the way he found his good friend consoling his wife after a marital spat You could very well have a book brawl on your hands.


Bonnet understands the feeling of leafing through a book from your younger days and wondering, What the hell was I thinking He never would have imagined that upon a rereading of Anna Karenina, he would feel more touched by the plight of Annas cuckolded husband than by the passion of her feeling for Vronsky.
The angels sang when someone else articulated what I felt when revisiting Tom Robbins Another Roadside Attraction that was my goto book in college.
And I was appalled at what my snarky younger self had said about Virginia Wolfe that got me thrown out of Perry Meisels class in

NYU although in all fairness, Perry Meisel had snark running through his veins and I secretly think he didnt like when one of us spoiled brats gave it back to him.


Phantoms is quite simply, a gem of a book, And it is sure to give any true bibliophile the warm fuzzies by finding a kindred soul in Jacques Bonnet, A word on PérezReverte, the secret code of bibliomaniacs, Read Dumas The Three Musketeers first, Or if you want to cheat, check out Johnny Depp in The Ninth Gate,

Non sono arrivata ancora aivolumi dell'autore beato lui, ne ho circauno speciale ringraziamento ai miei genitori, ma ho poco più di trent'anni, direi di avere tempo :
È stato interessante leggere dei vari problemi di catalogazione e ordine dei libri, io li divido tra saggistica e narrativa, poi nella narrativa divido tra letterature varie e gialli/thriller, però dipende anche dal formato, se è un libro rilegato lo sistemo in una delle librerie con vetri perchè è innegabile, dopo qualche anno le pagine ingialliscono.
Insomma: solo io so dove sono i libri, il mio compagno ormai ha rinunciato, per leggere mi chiede direttamente un consiglio e se ne fa tirare fuori alcuni che tiene sul comodino, appena finiti me li restituisce per farli tornare nei segreti meandri degli scaffali.

Credevo di essere proprio fissata con le liste e collane di libri varie due esempi:libri da leggere prima di morire, curarsi con i libri.
ma leggendo questo libro ho constatato che è una fissa comune, uno dei vari stadi di questa patologia da cui spero di non guarire mai!
Unici due problemi: trovare il tempo di leggerli tutti è più forte di me, in liberia ne acquisto almeno due e trovare lo spazio per mettere nuovi scaffali e librerie!
