Book synopsis

We say that every picture tells a story -- but does it really? Can we read a painting the way we read a book? Is there a vocabulary we can learn that will help us tease out an image's meaning? In Reading Pictures, Alberto Manguel offers a spirited, endlessly entertaining meditation on the questions we ask ourselves when we stand in front of a work of art. Chosen by The Washington Post as one of the best books of the year, Reading Pictures shows that there is no limit to the stories we can find if we know how -- and where -- to look for them.
