To what extent might the books she read have shaped her?
And could reading those books have influenced the works she wrote?
Our publication satisfies scholars, who find in it a list, compiled by Valtorta herself, of the books she owned in her home.
But it is an interesting publication for many other reasons, starting with her numerous writings about books and readings.
And it is rich in information about the books in the context of Valtorta’s history.
It is accompanied by color reproductions. The unpublished photo on the cover is emblematic.
