Che cosa vediamo quando leggiamo

In books we come across characters, places, objects that we seem to know, as if they actually were in front of us: but do we really see them? What images spring to mind when we read? Where do they come from and how do we create them?
Are they clear or blurred?
In this thrilling illustrated conversation, Peter Mendelsund tells us what is going on in our imagination as readers, taking us on a journey studded with classic opening lines, maps and quotations, to discover what we see when we read.

Che cosa vediamo quando leggiamo is part of the Visual Essays series, a collection of books for those seeking new visual cues for looking at reality.
