«Possiamo immaginare un futuro diverso per la storia della lettura? La mia biblioteca ha sempre, nel tempo, allargato il mio universo, e io ho provato a condividerla con i miei lettori attraverso i libri che ho scritto.» Così scrive Alberto Manguel nel libro Una storia della lettura raccontando l’esperienza di Espaço Atlântida, il centro di lettura internazionale di Lisbona, creato grazie alla donazione della sua immensa collezione di volumi. Uno spazio ideale, con i suoi scaffali aperti a ricerche senza limiti, i suoi ambienti silenziosi per la riflessione individuale e altri per le discussioni pubbliche, per esercitare la lettura come pratica condivisa e creare comunità.

Poentes Olisiponenses – Lisboa vista pelo óculo de viandantes
“The other Ithaca” is the motto for the writer, essayist, editor and translator, Dr. Alberto Manguel, to talk about the way in which other writers have evaluated, over the centuries, the Portuguese capital and the Portuguese way of being.
“Olissipona after the decline of Roman civilization from the 2nd century AD Centuries later, an inscription found on Monte da Lua, in Sintra, stated that the Sibyl prophesied the expansion of the Portuguese in India. At the beginning of 1504, Américo Vespúcio left twenty and four Portuguese sailors in a fort in Cabo Frio, Brazil; one of them, according to Thomas More, was Raphael Hytholoday, whose name means “Purveyor of Nonsense” and who will be the first to tell the story of a land called Utopia. A grammatical error , a prophecy, an ideal society are some of the masks that the city of Lisbon wears to this day.”
