100 books – Alberto Manguel – with links to ebooks

﻿﻿Alberto Manguel is one of my favourite writers. Among other things, he writes about books, libraries and reading. And he does it brilliantly: you can feel his love for reading, in his books.

In his “Library at Night” and also in his website, Manguel has a list of 100 favourite books. So, I decided to reproduce that list here with links to websites where you can read and/or download those ebooks.

I had to make some decisions:

  1. The book must be in Public Domain or must be published by or with permission of the copyright owners;
  2. The book must be in a language that I could understand (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French), although I preferred English when several languages were available;
  3. ManyBooks.net was the preferred website because you can choose the ebooks in several formats, but sometimes a website about the author was preferred, if it was more complete;

Some works are in Public Domain, but I couldn’t find them. If you know where I can access this books, please use the comments to do so and I’ll be happy to add the link to the list.

Good Reading! 🙂
