Why do some people find a book very deep, others find it empty, others find it abstruse? Why is it that every time you reread a book, you discover something you have not noticed before? Why someone understands all shades of meaning, sees hidden between the lines, hears the music of words, feels their taste, color and smell, and someone remains deaf to them? Why does someone perceive the content of a textbook from the first time, and why does someone need to explain it repeatedly? To tune into the author's "wave" and understand more, you need the ability to read actively. This is what Mortimer Adler, an American philosopher, editor, and teacher who spent his life teaching people to love and understand books (he later headed the editorial board of the Encyclopedia Britannica), wrote his book for. The book is a must for those who want to develop their abilities to comprehend text in a multifaceted way, as well as for those who would like to write books themselves in such a way as to be properly understood, and for those who do editorial work.
