In the act, Carrión, who writes regularly in the cultural section Cultura/s of La Vanguardia and in other supplements and magazines in Spain and Latin America, will present Contra Amazon, a book of essays. Through these writings, the author traces a travel itinerary through Seoul's innovative libraries and bookstores, interviews with Miami booksellers and writers, conversations about books and cities with Alberto Manguel, Iain Sinclair, Luigi Amara or Han Kag, and, above all, through the author's tribute to some of the world's most fascinating bookstores and libraries.

While the company Amazon is conquering physical and virtual spaces, this writer and literary critic born in Tarragona, with Contra Amazon (which has been a real phenomena in the Anglo-Saxon cultural world), he defends the figure of the bookseller and the author's bookshop, while inviting us to travel and, above all, to read with a critical spirit. Libraries and bookstores, whether real or fictitious, are claimed by Carrión as fundamental scenarios of our sentimental and intellectual education.
