"A universal solidarity unites all the gestures and images of men, not only in space but also and especially in time" (Elie Faure).
would not seem outdated and tramp thing that an old book, whose fate is to perish in the fire (they burn out), or thrown away, crushed and made pasta. However, records are yellow, dirty, creased, which move more sympathy among bibliophiles (or at least to this writer), and love of books-a-brac must be the last grade of bibliophiles, because the book traces the time seems a sign of immortality.
Today he came home for lunch, whistling and good humor, walking (because traffic is a carajal Sevilla in the week of April Fair ), and because Experience shows that the positive spirit brings good fortune, I had a lucky break with an old book. A Street neighborhood, a mop was stationed at the corner of the pharmacy and had spread a blanket of books. When I reached his side would pass by, but even though it was three, I stood a while sniffing around, finding all of a sudden with a booklet of Juan Eduardo Cirlot (not all days is one with a Cirlot ). Specifically, abstract spirit from prehistory to the Middle Ages (Madrid, Editorial Labor, 1970), which I was asked to 1.50 euros (the title quotes online between 10 and 50 euros [ AbeBooks ]).
The mop was telling me who has eight children (the girl of 21 years and older than 35), some standing. Sells books, and is a Chapu (doing odd jobs). An entrepreneurial spirit that lives in a duplex , as I said, not far from the neighborhood. I wonder how late they will be selling books. After lunch, we took a paquetón books that I have evolved (some new, unused). The Cirlot also had given a lady in the neighborhood this morning, and has gone into my hands. Thus, the informal market for books is an excellent way of relocate the books and place them where they can continue doing good, in a second life.
