Creer en uno mismo y otros artículos de La Vanguardia

A writer and editor, the author has spent many hours reflecting on why reading is one of the most fascinating ways of inhabiting the world. And he has especially taken his time to encourage us to discover the values and beauty that lies in the act of sitting down to devour pages. Because for Jordi Nadal, reading is much more than a way of getting information or quenching our thirst for knowledge: it is resistance against tyranny, it is an antidote against fear; it is to go back to the nuances; it is another way to recover the lost art of conversation; it is traveling and getting lost without leaving the room; it is to be convinced that we all fit in this world, it is a way of not feeling defenseless, it is recovering the classics from oblivion, and it is a way of maintaining sanity in the midst of pandemics and confinements. Believing in oneself is an invitation to understand reading as one of the most important gifts we can give ourselves to live better.
