Each book has two different weights: first, physical weight and, secondly, a subjective weight that relates to the contents of the book or its importance. How often do we find ourselves in leaving a place before these difficult decisions: what books would we or could we take? - Walter Benjamin, I pull out my library. It enters the large bookstore, hands in pockets. His gaze embraces the many shelves that crowd against each other, as the crowd in the subway during rush hours, books of all sizes. On tables that draw a maze that runs quietly, they are willing to ease, spread like vacationers on a beach showing off their beautiful colors. One of them attracted his attention, and yet - or because? - The most discreet of all: light yellow on its cover, the author's name is written in small capitals, lower the four words of the title are arranged in two lines like a haiku, the first in Roman, second in italics, then comes the wind rose from the publisher surrounded by his noble motto, and his last name and year. There's nothing seductive, it stands there, patiently, no one knows how long, as timeless. The man calmly left hand tends to him, the book does not move back, on the contrary, it looks like he feels that his long wait that has nothing to heavy, will be terminated. The fingers touch the thin cardboard and corrugated penalty coverage on which there are horizontal lines almost imperceptible. They slip under the edge and gently lift the book. Weight. The right measure: he will be read without end too quickly nor weary the reader who would give up before the end, like a dish too rich. The man turns and runs under the list of other works of the author from the same publisher who decorates the back cover. If he dared - but he is not here at home, in the privacy of his library - it humerait then the book as a tastevin a glass of wine from the Loire, hoping the odor of its flashy neighbors did 'have not impregnated. His right hand was finally released from his pocket. The thumb on the edge, he half opened with attention the book is bound, but he wants to break his back. Besides, this is how it treats all the books he read, once closed, they return to their original appearance, and when he would return much later, they will be like new, may be just a little faded as friends they had not yet lost to the mind, and it will be a new discovery. The almost white vellum has a nice texture: it does not slip under the fingers like a stretched skin and cold. The letters appear at their ease, their arrangement is spacious, in the same line as one line to another. Paragraphs are indicated by a simple withdrawal, or when they are more consistent, separated from their neighbors by a space at the center of which is an asterisk. The pages are not trimmed, the man enjoys a bit of text here and there, he can not resist the temptation to read the book here, right now, or in the street out of the library: it does not and flakes. When he really begin at home, the paper knife in his hand, he will stop regularly to make their way further.It is by tasting it and it will capture even more weight, and its content. This is not a book he found online. Digitized, it would have no weight, no smell, no texture, it would not have thick, would not allow himself flick of the fingers small or large it will appear the same way on the screen. He could not put it in his pocket and read in bed or walking down the street, have open on the table with other books to compare open a passage. As for his old and paunchy encyclopedic Larousse dictionary, he likes to read down in a chair, one of the volumes comfortably in her lap, her eyes wandering from one definition to another chance for his curiosity, while reduced to the screen it becomes illegible. Once stored in its library, every book he can find nothing in walking with his hands in his pockets before scanning the shelves of the gaze scanned, it was his fingers that would work, they n'effleureraient few tens of keys, all the same .... And the first failure, his whole library would disappear at once as the coach of the story at midnight, no lamp or candle to enable read in the dark. XHTML: You can use these tags:. ..
