Klappentext
Features more than 2, 000 manuscripts from the Joan Gili Catalan Collection at the University of London for the first time.
Long before the digital era, Joan Gili spent sixty years cultivating taste. The Dolphin Bookshop opened in April 1935 in London's bookselling district around Charing Cross. A partnership at first, it soon became a one-person company driven by Gili's entrepreneurial spirit, his roots in the book trade, and his mission to spread Spanish and Catalan literature overseas. Targeting so-called "discriminating readers," the new bookshop challenged Britain's book-borrowing culture, defying the mainstream.
Books Across Nations is not a biography of Gili. Based on more than 2, 000 unpublished manuscripts from his personal and professional archive, this multidisciplinary study grounded in translation studies reveals the full reach of a man committed to two worlds and determined to create a bridge between them. Students, scholars, and professionals in publishing and bookselling will find a rigorously researched story of passion, war, taste, strategy, and vision that speaks directly to the world we live in today.
