Nothing Remains the Same

Rereading and Remembering

Edición de la obra Nothing Remains the Same

"Revisiting her favorite books after the passage of twenty or thirty years, Wendy Lesser is stirred by the changes she finds - in the books, in herself, and in the wider world. If Nothing Remains the Same is a book about reading, it is also a book about time, with rereading as a special form of time travel.". "From classic novels such as Anna Karenina and The Portrait of a Lady to a charming tale for young adults called I Capture the Castle, from nonfiction by George Orwell and Henry Adams to poetry by Wordsworth and Milton, from the deeply American Huckleberry Finn to works in translation like Don Quixote and The Idiot, Lesser covers the whole literary spectrum. Nothing Remains the Same is an exploration of what books can mean to our lives and vice versa."--BOOK JACKET.
