* The author is part of the community of readers of La Vanguardia
In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can capture the atmosphere of the Madrid Book Fair, which is coming to an end, and it shows, since it is abuzz.
Readers go for the signature of their favorite authors, even if they have to wait in endless queues to do so, as we can see in the images.
We see, for example, how Milo Manara, Luis GarcÃa Montero, Dolores Redondo, Juan Luis Arsuaga, Carmen Mola… signed their names and it seemed, due to the influx, that they were giving away the books. Beautiful moments to remember.
Away from the streets and walks of the fair, the readers, to the solace, relax and kill their leisure in the shade of the trees, stretched out on the grass, or else on the steps of some stairs. Then, it is assumed, they will continue their march in search of the desired book. They are the spontaneous literary picnics of the fair.
In this edition of the Book Fair, the rise of environmental movements and the growing interest of a percentage of the urban population in recovering links with nature have been noted, which has prompted the publication and sale of books related to green themes at the Madrid Book Fair, which this Sunday faces the final stretch of its 82nd edition.
