Dear reader,
I'm talking to you. You are the most important link in the book chain. One might say the golden link, the primordial link, the link that cannot be detached without breaking the whole. You, the reader, without whom the book would have no reality, as a Slovak writer by the name of Pavel Vilikovsky once said. I'd like to tell you that amidst the jostling of the new releases of the fall literary season, increasingly comparable to the jostling of the waves of a sumptuous tsunami, I'd like to tell you that you don't have to be up to your neck in it. In other words, you can stay dry, dare to take your time and read quietly in the shade of a tree, why not some poetry, for example. That's right, why don't you set yourself apart this year, instead of following the trends, by reading Like a star falls in the night, by Mathilde Vischer?
