Abstract

Alberto Manguel was born in Argentina. He is a traveler’s soul. He lived in many countries and now settled down in Lisbon. It is in Portuguese capital that his library is being build up as Centro de Estudos da História da Literatura. Reader of Jorge Luis Borges as a youngster in the Buenos Aires Library, Manguel is a man for whom myth is related with books and all literature. But also, as bibliographer, to the idea of library as an imaginary, dynamic and beyond ordered place, where inhabit memories - and the use we do of them, every time we take, read a book and go through its narratives, places and characters’ journeys. Manguel talks about the concept of myth and myhts of Portugal, Portuguese literature, art, artists and the challenges of todays’ society.
