A Puta da Leitura – Stolen Books with Luís Alegre

‘To steal a book is an elegant offence’. In this new episode of PUTA DA LEITURA we celebrate an oral history and talk to Luís Alegre about how he started Stolen Books, which is not a database of stolen or missing books, but an independent publishing house in Lisbon that steals (with the agreement of the authors) and publishes works whose absence constitutes an offence to the international book market.

THE READING WHORE
Books, conversations, radio and drinks
If you’re interested in architectural publishing and are curious about the different perspectives on architecture that take the form of a book, magazine or newspaper, we invite you to join us for three days of THE READING WHORE at Antecâmara. Coinciding with the Lisbon Book Fair’21, we’ve invited several publishers with a selection of three titles each, available here in the pop-up bookshop.
