Carlo Feltrinelli: "There is an invisible network of millions of readers who contribute to the good in the world"

Carlo Feltrinelli discusses the importance of a collaborative reading culture and the launch of a new bookstore in Montevideo that aims to promote progressive literature.

Carlo Feltrinelli, the son of the founder of the renowned Italian publishing house, highlights the role of collective reading as a force for positive change in society. During his remarks, he emphasized that an 'invisible network' of millions of readers exists, which actively contributes to the betterment of the world. This philosophy resonates through Feltrinelli's ongoing commitment to publish politically engaged literature and foster cultural discussions in Italy and beyond.

In addition to his reflections on reading as a communal activity, Feltrinelli announced a new partnership with Anagrama, unveiling a joint foundation to promote literature and social issues. This collaboration signals a forward-thinking approach to the publishing industry, aiming to engage with contemporary cultural and political challenges through literature. The foundation will facilitate various initiatives, including the establishment of a new bookstore in Montevideo, Uruguay, designed to be a hub for progressive literature and discussions.

Feltrinelli's vision extends to global outreach, as he seeks to expand the influence of his family's publishing legacy across Latin America. With the opening of the Montevideo bookstore, Feltrinelli aims to not only create a space for reading but also to encourage dialogue around pressing social issues in the region. By fostering such initiatives, he hopes to keep alive the spirit of his father’s mission from 1955: to use literature as a means to inspire social change and resist oppressive ideologies.
