Abstract

Reading is the possibility of becoming aware, a rapture of the soul. In what we read we project ourselves and often recreate in ourselves what the heroes or heroines of the novels we love most live or suffer. One cannot want to read and at the same time claim to be insured: it is better not to read at all. The reader, kidnapped by the book, disappears into the pages he or she reads. Many things happen there. Reading is contemplation and implies leaving the world at a distance: it is an inevitable absence of the world and a restless solitude.
