00:00What do you think about the future?
00:02Well, I don't think that the book is going to end.
00:05I think there is always a niche for the book.
00:10It's an object that was created, I think,
00:13as said Humberto Eco,
00:16it doesn't have modification because it's like the plate,
00:19like the spoon or like the wheel.
00:22Since they invented it, they are like this.
00:24They can change color or form, but they are the same.
00:39What do you think about the book?
00:40Why did I get to go to the library?
00:44First, because my father had been a librarian,
00:47so there was a transition in the family of the library.
00:52He had been a librarian here in Bogotá.
00:55Second, because he was, as of that, bibliophile.
00:57He was passionate about books,
01:00he had a huge library that I had been presenting,
01:05and in which I was happy.
01:10What do you think about the book?
01:13How can I work here?
01:15And I offered to work.
01:17I offered to work.
01:18I offered to the owner of the library,
01:19who was a very nice person,
01:22and he, after doing some tests in general,
01:27which I passed, of course,
01:29given that my lectures have allowed me to do it,
01:33I went to work as a simple ayudante of the library.
01:38And from there in on, I grew up,
01:42I grew up,
01:42I grew up,
01:43I grew up,
01:44I grew up,
01:45I grew up,
01:45I grew up,
01:46I grew up,
01:46I grew up,
01:47I grew up,
01:47I grew up,
01:50I grew up,
01:50I grew up,
01:51I grew up,
01:53I grew up,
01:54I grew up,
01:54I grew up,
01:55I grew up,
01:58I grew up,
02:00I grew up,
02:01I grew up,
02:02I grew up,
02:03I grew up,
02:06I grew up,
02:07I grew up,
02:08I grew up,
02:08I grew up,
02:08I grew up,
02:10I grew up,
02:12I grew up,
02:17but not the capacity and the conditions of Unicentro.
02:22So we decided to build a library in Unicentro,
02:26to buy a local and build a library here.
02:29All our colleagues, all the editors told us that we were absolutely crazy
02:35because all the libraries were in the center.
02:38The center of Bogotá was the place where all the large restaurants were all there.
02:44I think it was soon enough to the lake,
02:48which was like the limit of the north of Bogotá.
02:51In the area where the Unicentro was not anything.
02:55There were no houses, there were no organizations.
02:58However, he thought that this would have a great development and a future.
03:08The library had an enormous success.
03:10It was a huge amount of money.
03:11It's a huge amount of money.
03:14it was about to sell the weekend.
03:15I could see the rest of the week.
03:17We were all in the area of the Unicentro.
03:18After that, we were creating buildings, houses, apartments,
03:22and we knew what it was made to be.
03:26There is a false thing with respect to the Unicentro.
03:30no tiene por qué menospreciarse el Vesel
03:33es absolutamente, yo diría que irracional
03:37que alguien que ama el libro no quiera que el libro circule
03:42¿cierto? entre más se vendan libros, pues es mejor
03:45además, ¿quién ha dicho que los Veseles solo son
03:49los autores literariamente consagrados, digamos?
03:55no, Veseles son muchos
03:58Veseles no son los autores populares, Veseles son los grandes autores
04:03García Márquez es Veseler, Truman Capote ha sido Veseler
04:08Saramago ha sido Veseler, Mario Vargas Llosa es Veseler
04:12Julio Cortázar ha sido Veseler y ya no es Veseler, es Long Seller
04:17de manera que todo libro tiene su espacio
04:21todo libro tiene su lector y todo libro debe ser respetado
04:25indudablemente, es parte del conglomerado cultural
04:30de la humanidad y nosotros respetamos eso
04:33porque la librería es donde confluyen todas las ideas
04:37y todo lo que sucede en el mundo confluye en una librería
04:44pues yo diría lo siguiente
04:46en cuanto a la empresa diría
04:49fue el duro deseo de perdurar
04:54lo que nos ha permitido llegar a los 35 años
04:58en cuanto a mí
05:01resulta que yo andaba buscando el paraíso
05:04y lo encontré
05:05dos libros
05:06y
