Whenever we open a book we immediately share its voices, we rewrite the glimpses of our existence, becoming (co)authors participants of an endless chain of spaces, experiments and travels. Whenever we open a book, we travel through real and imaginary places, we mix voices, languages, experiences, we are (in)consciously readers and parcial authors of all eras, because we are all the result of memories that are integrated in a culture that dialogues with other cultures, times, and traditions.
Thus, books allow us, in a real or virtual way, to rescue man from his temporality. Books are our inner voices, the creative memories of our human restlessness! The fruition of the words and images inscribed in them generate restlessness in us, provoking impressions and stirrings that connect us to the past, to other languages made of many reminiscences. Books are 'therapy homes', 'an experiential, restless, and intense encounter with Art, with ourselves, and with others.
As potentiators of the imaginary, books impel us to leisure and to the desire to 'set out to discover' places that potentiate personal transformations, to analyze spiritually or in loco the effective and real commensuration of spaces and times.
Irene Vallejo Moreu in- The Infinite in a Reed -shows us that 'books have overcome the tests of time, they have proved to be long distance runners' despite 'revolutions or the nightmare of our [disturbing] catastrophes. Books tell our stories, keep our ideas alive and project future dreams, other books and many more stories yet to come. Each of us is simply a unique book.
