  Elle est entrée dans sa librairie. Elle se sentait bien ; son coeur se réjouissait, son corps entier se détendait, elle s'abandonnait au plaisir de retrouver son lieu de travail. La journée commençait.
  Quand certains ont imaginé le paradis comme une bibliothèque, d'autres choisiront sans hésiter une librairie.
  En garnissant les rayonnages de sa nouvelle librairie, Yeong-ju y met tout son coeur, comme si elle essayait, avec les livres, de renouer avec une amie perdue de vue depuis sa jeunesse. Elle répond aux demandes des lecteurs, même les plus surprenantes, elle cherche un livre pour dégeler le coeur et glisse parfois dans les volumes de petites notes de la taille d'une paume, qu'elle conclut par « ce roman m'a donné ce plaisir ».
  Elle découvre aussi le plaisir d'organiser des rencontres avec des écrivains, d'animer un club de lecture, d'accueillir un atelier d'écriture, de conseiller des livres avec la joie d'éteindre souvent des chagrins avec une heure de lecture. La librairie devient rapidement le coeur battant du petit quartier de Hyunam où se nouent des amitiés, des interrogations sincères sur le sens de la vie et le pouvoir des livres.
  Il y a à ses côtés le barista Min-jun, qui trie les grains de café comme les mauvaises pensées, Jimi la torréfactrice passionnée, sans compter les habitués qui ont élu domicile parmi les livres, comme Jeong-seo qui tricote des éponges en forme de pain de mie entre les bibliothèques.
  
  Une belle déclaration d'amour à la librairie. Lire la suite Fermer

  There was only one thing on her mind.
  
  ''I must start a bookshop.''
  
  Yeongju did everything she was supposed to, go to university, marry a decent man, get a respectable job. Then it all fell apart. Burned out, Yeongju abandons her old life, quits her high-flying career, and follows her dream. She opens a bookshop.
  
  In a quaint neighbourhood in Seoul, surrounded by books, Yeongju and her customers take refuge. From the lonely barista to the unhappily married coffee roaster, and the writer who sees something special in Yeongju - they all have disappointments in their past. The Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes the place where they all learn how to truly live.
  
  A heart-warming story about finding comfort and acceptance in your life - and the healing power of books.

  From the internationally bestselling author of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop comes a warm and reflective collection of essays about reading, language and life.
  
  Why do we read? What is it that we hope to take away from the intimate, personal experience of reading for pleasure?
  
  Rarely do we ask these profound, expansive questions of ourselves and of our relationship to the joy of reading. But in this gentle, philosophical collection celebrating books, reading and language, Hwang Bo-reum doesn''t just tell us, but shows us what living a life immersed in reading means.
  
  Every Day I Read provides many quiet moments for introspection and reflection, encourages book-lovers to explore what reading means to each of us. While this is a book about books, at its heart is an attitude to life, one outside capitalism and climbing the corporate ladder. Readers and non-readers will take away something from it, including a treasure trove of book recommendations blended seamlessly within. Lire la suite Fermer
