Throughout the years, they change their identities and emerge from behind their stories to teach us about the complexities of love, loss, and the world itself. Manguel's favorite characters include Jim from Huckleberry Finn, Phoebe from The Catcher in the Rye, Job and Jonah from the Bible, Little Red Riding Hood and Captain Nemo, Hamlet's mother, and Dr. Frankenstein's maligned Monster. Sharing his unique powers as a reader, Manguel encourages us to establish our own literary relationships. An intimate preface and Manguel's own "doodles" complete this delightful and magical book. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-228). 505 00 $g Preface -- $t Wakefield. $t Little Red Riding Hood -- $t Dracula -- $t Alice -- $t Faust -- $t Gertrude -- $t Superman -- $t Don Juan -- $t Lilith -- $t The Wandering Jew -- $t Sleeping Beauty -- $t Phoebe -- $t Hsing-chen -- $t Jim -- $t The Chimera -- $t Robinson Crusoe -- $t Queegueg -- $t Tyrant Banderas -- $t Cide Hamete Benegeli -- $t Job -- $t Quasimodo -- $t Casaubon -- $t Satan -- $t The Hippogriff -- $t Captain Nemo -- $t Frankenstein's Monster -- $t Sandy -- $t Jonah -- $t Dona Emilia -- $t The Wendigo -- $t Heidi's grandfather -- $t Clever Elsie -- $t Long John Silver -- $t KaragoÌz and Hacivat -- $t EÌmile -- $t Sinbad -- $t Wakefield. 600 10 $a Manguel, Alberto $x Books and reading. 650 0 $a Authors, Canadian $y 20th century $x Books and reading. 650 0 $a Characters and characteristics in literature. 600 17 $a Manguel, Alberto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00049701 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015950.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054915.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010253.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022304.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191107011054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6105ABFEFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
