Reading can be a way of facing the world, of crossing distances, of decoding hidden messages in the waves. Writing can be the difference between life and death, between love and loneliness, between understanding and misfortune, the last frontier against oblivion or injustice. In this book, the reader will navigate calm and stormy seas where the texts converse, with different voices, on the same topic: reading and writing.

The ten authors are the ten winners of the Barco De Vapor Award in Argentina. (Back cover text)
