Hardback. Condición: New. Around 2000, people began to believe that books were on verge of extinction. Their obsolescence, in turn, was expected to doom the habits of mind that longform print had once prompted: the capacity to follow a demanding idea from start to finish, to look beyond the day's news, or even just to be alone.…The "death of the book" is an anxiety that has spawned a thousand jeremiads about the dumbing down of American culture, the ever-shorter attention spans of our children, the collapse of civilized discourse. All of these anxieties rely on the idea of a golden age, when children and adults alike sat quietly for long stretches reading edifying literature that improved our minds and souls. A booklover by temperament as much as profession, literature professor Leah Price wanted to believe that. But as a historian of the book, searching out the traces of long-dead readers through their marginalia and their unbroken spines, she began to wonder if our current digital discontents were stirring up nostalgia for a past that had never existed.When you look at old books, what do you find? A few well-greased pagespreads limply scattered among hundreds that remained spotlessly crisp; essays stained with beer from reading aloud at the pub; novels crumpled from being hidden in a pocket. From the eighteenth-century dawn of mass literacy to the Cold-War-era triumph of the paperback, few books were read cover-to-cover, meditatively, in silence. We have been shocked - shocked!--by data from Kindle that shows that most readers start books but rarely finish them, or skip large sections in between. But it has always been so. And in fact, for much of history, "deep" reading was strongly discouraged. Doctors and clergymen warned that print could addict, distract, or corrupt--not the ideas it contained, but the very experience of running one's eyes over a page. Over the centuries, children and women especially were repeatedly warned not to spend too much time reading, lest it excite their minds and distract them from other, more edifying tasks. Impatient with untempered book worship, Price emphasizes the continuities between past and present reading practices, and dispels the myth of the Golden Age of Print on multiple fronts. An anti-nostalgic examination of the past, present and future of reading, What We Talk About When We Talk About Books will fascinate bibliophiles and readers of all stripes.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. Winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Christian Gauss Award, 2020. "Do you worry that you've lost patience for anything longer than a tweet? If so, you're not alone. Digital-age pundi…ts warn that as our appetite for books dwindles, so too do the virtues in which printed, bound objects once trained us: the willpower to focus on a sustained argument, the curiosity to look beyond the day's news, the willingness to be alone. [] The shelves of the world's great libraries, though, tell a more complicated story. Examining the wear and tear on the books that they contain, English professor Leah Price finds scant evidence that a golden age of reading ever existed. From the dawn of mass literacy to the invention of the paperback, most readers already skimmed and multitasked. Print-era doctors even forbade the very same silent absorption now recommended as a cure for electronic addictions. [] The evidence that books are dying proves even scarcer. In encounters with librarians, booksellers and activists who are reinventing old ways of reading, Price offers fresh hope to bibliophiles and literature lovers alike." [jacket copy] "No one writes about books--and their bookness--with anything close to the daunting curiosity and dazzling acuity of the inimitable Leah Price. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BOOKS is a rags to paper to Amazon Kindle bookshelf of delight and instruction, as entertaining as it is illuminating."--Jill Lepore. "A dizzying, myth-busting history of reading. Upends a whole toolbox of old saws about readers' habits."--Keith Houston. "Predictions of the death of the book weren't only greatly exaggerated; as Leah Price notes in WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BOOKS, they were old news. The book has survived numerous death sentences in the past, and this time, as before, it's been the occasion to reinvent old practices of reading. What the Victorians called 'furniture books' continue to adorn coffee tables and the Ikea shelves widened to accommodate them. People still hold books in their laps on couches and in coaches (enjoying the 'library atmosphere' of Amtrak quiet cars). Self-help books have their roots the 'bibliotherapy' proposed a century ago. It is still a very bookish world that we inhabit, and I know of no guide to it more witty and engaging than Leah Price, whose insights, erudition, and apercus had me dog-earing every other page."--Geoff Nunberg, NPR's Fresh Air. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome & well-red jacket.
