Abstract

ARGUELLO SANDOVAL, Alexis. Books: A commercial activity of Thursday and Sunday at the "16 de Julio" Fair. Rev. Fuent. Cong. [online]. 2014, vol.8, n.30, pp. 46-54. ISSN 1997-4485.

Personal chronic of a tour to "The Rail", at the «16 de Julio» Fair, city of the Alto (La Paz), in which a search reproduces: what one hides outside the pages. Books becoming dust, accumulated like stones such a mountain that is become small and disappears. Books that arrived there from the hand of people who week after week continue practicing, from their possibilities and limitations, a commercial activity of Thursday and Sunday. Contrary to which one thinks, with something of patience, we can find not only more of a book but more of a memory; one between that they are accumulated by lack of use.
