¿Cuál es el significado de las librerías en el imaginario colectivo? ¿Cuál es su papel en la historia de las ideas y de las letras? En este brillante y ameno ensayo, Jorge Carrión crea una posible cronología del desarrollo de las librerías y de su representación artística. Se exploran cómo las librerías se transformaron en mitos culturales, centros de tertulia y atalayas de resistencia política. Un mundo fascinante y crepuscular para los amantes de los libros.
