" A SHOP WITH BOOKS IN" É UMA CANÇÃO SOBRE BIBLIOT...









There’s a story waiting inside
Behind the door, as it opens wide
And I wander in, hoping to find
Something
As they tell the stories we know
And those we don’t are waiting to be held,
And taken home
There’s a strange man inside
Who knows what I like
He’ll rush with tea to my side
And a stack of books piled high
If I’m lucky enough there will be lots of stuff
That makes me smile inside
A shop with books in….
Shelves stacked high
Fills my eyes
Cant describe
Who knows what you’ll find
A lovely lady guides me through
I smell the pages, excitement grew
How glad am I to be In company, of such
Purveyors of quality
Her knowledge is vast, Her hand reaches out
And pulls the spine of a beautifully bound
Book of delights, Picked especially for me
(ooooh, I’m so happy)
A shop with books in….

[This is a song we wrote about bookshops, for Independent Booksellers' Week (30th June - 7th July 2012), a national celebration of independent bookshops, with hundreds of events taking place all over the country.]

O bibliotecário e memoralista Edson Nery da Fonseca

Edson Nery da Fonseca

Para quem como eu gosta de ler memórias este artigo que um colega brasileiro me enviou, publicado na Revista do Piaui, é interessantissimo e por isso aconselho a sua leitura. Nele se fala sobre a amizade de Edson pelo sociólogo Gilberto Freire pelo seu encanto pelo poeta Manuel Bandeira que recitava com frequência sabendo os seus poemas de cor.

O cão que comeu o livro...: Quatro tipos de leitores segundo Coleridge / Four ...




Agnolo Bronzino (1503 – 1572)

Quatro tipos de leitores segundo Coleridge:


1. Sponges, who absorb all that they read and return it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtied. 

2. Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time. 

3. Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read. 

4. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also".



Samuel Taylor Coleridge
