La Guida di Cartafaccio alla Buona Lettura: Discernimento in un Mondo di Contenuti Automatizzati. Cartafaccio Editorial - read, but with discernment. Let’s consider a book written by a human author. It doesn’t matter whether they’re famous or not. As we start reading, we quickly realise that the book is much more than just a series of words strung together. If we think about it, as we read the author’s words, it’s as if they themselves were sitting in front of us, telling us their story. We might be sitting on the sofa at home, or on a train, or even outside, on a bench in a park, and right next to us is a great poet like Shakespeare, or a cloistered nun like Saint Therese of Lisieux, talking to us through their writing.
These authors tell us stories to be read, reveal truths and prompt us to reflect on the life’s mysteries, in works of fiction and nonfiction, both great and small; in short, they nourish our soul, one word at a time. In addition to this, we must also remember that reading is not only good for the soul, but also for overall health.
