Una biografía intelectual no es la biografía de la vida privada. Es la historia de una formación en la que intervienen muchos factores, muchas presencias y escenarios: escuelas, experiencias, viajes y, sobre todo, lecturas. La vida intelectual sigue la trayectoria de las ideas en el tiempo, de ideas encarnadas en una persona y, fundamentalmente, en el diálogo que ha mantenido con figuras tutelares, maestros, colegas, amigos. Así se hilvana una biografía intelectual: conversando con abuelos, mentores, compañeros de tantas batallas, autores admirados.

Este es un libro sobre la historia de los libros. Un recorrido por la vida de ese fascinante artefacto que inventamos para que las palabras pudieran viajar en el espacio y en el tiempo.

In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city's underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.

In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.
