The rights of the reader
Pennac, Daniel, author2006
Central to this book, is the belief that readers have rights, to read what, how, where and when they want, and if they choose, the right not to read. Humane, humorous and deeply felt, this is a unique book about reading.The Rights of the Reader, which has sold over a million copies in France, grew from celebrated French writer Daniel Pennac's experiences of teaching in "challenging" schools. Central to the book is his belief that readers have rights: to read what, how, where and when they want, and if they choose the right NOT to read. This fresh new translation combines the talents of award-winning translator Sarah Adams and renowned artist Quentin Blake, who illustrates and introduces the work.
