\"\"<\/a>L’Andrea Giovannoli fa temps que va sortir del seu pa\u00eds d’It\u00e0lia (M\u00e0ntua, 1983) a la cerca de nous horitzons i de viure unes quantes experi\u00e8ncies. De nen li agradava la mitologia cl\u00e0ssica, era feli\u00e7 passant llargues estones a les llibreries mirant i remenant llibres. Aviat va tenir clara la seva vocaci\u00f3, alguna feina relacionada amb l’educaci\u00f3 i la cultura, mestre o llibreter. Tot i aix\u00ed va cursar la carrera de Farm\u00e0cia.  <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Enllestits els estudis, va viatjar per Europa, a Barcelona va cursar un Erasmus d’humanitats, va treballar en f\u00e0briques, en educaci\u00f3 i en un munt de coses m\u00e9s per pagar-se els estudis. Va tornar a It\u00e0lia, va con\u00e8ixer la seva parella, una noia de Balaguer, la C\u00e8lia, que feia un Erasmus all\u00e0. Anys despr\u00e9s tindrien l’Alice, la seva filla i una llibreria a Balaguer, l’Argonauta<\/a>, l’espai de les lletres.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

L’Alice i l’Argonauta tenen gaireb\u00e9 la mateixa edat, cinc mesos, tot va coincidir, i tot va b\u00e9. La llibreria, l’Argonauta, ocupa un magn\u00edfic espai de 170 metres quadrats d’exposici\u00f3 i 46 de magatzem i serveis. Abans havia estat una botiga de roba femenina d’un cert nivell. Els materials tamb\u00e9, parquet de fusta natural de bona qualitat, enllosat de marbre, acer cromat, bona distribuci\u00f3 de la il\u00b7luminaci\u00f3. L’Andrea ha sabut treure’n el m\u00e0xim profit, el local ampli, funcional i elegant, sembla dissenyat pel millor dels professionals, en aquest cas el mateix Andrea. Amb l’ajuda d’amics i coneguts l’ha pintat de nou, ha diferenciat la zona infantil amb colors primaris.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Els prestatges, uns quants metres lineals a mida, encara que no ho sembli, s\u00f3n de segona m\u00e0, provenen de la desapareguda Robafaves de Matar\u00f3. Els prestatges del magatzem s\u00f3n de la farm\u00e0cia d’It\u00e0lia. A part d’algunes caixes recuperades de fruita, la resta de mobiliari \u00e9s d’Ikea. Est\u00e0 canviant les bombetes convencionals, un grapat, per leds, l’estalvi d’energia \u00e9s significatiu. Resumint, el cost de la inversi\u00f3 i l’acondiciament de la llibreria ha estat m\u00ednim.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cal destacar els expositors d’acer inoxidable, aquests s\u00ed, nous de trinca i fets a mida per la ferrera de Balaguer. L’Andrea ha aprofitat les guies dels anteriors expositors per adaptar-hi els nous, destinats a mostrar els llibres plans. La mateixa ferrera, una noia tra\u00e7uda, a cop de mall ha forjat les lletres del r\u00e8tol de l’entrada. Les lletres de L’Argonauta s\u00f3n de tipus divers i mida variable. Al mercat de Portobello, a Londres, hi va trobar la inspiraci\u00f3. El nom i aquesta barreja de formes evoquen la diversitat del m\u00f3n, un viatge a diferents sensibilitats culturals.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00c9s una llibreria generalista, no descarta ombres ni noies que somien llums. T\u00e9 una secci\u00f3 de guies i mapes locals, el Pirineu \u00e9s ben a prop. El llibre infantil i l’\u00e0lbum il\u00b7lustrat tenen un lloc a part. Una selecci\u00f3 de llibres en itali\u00e0, franc\u00e8s i angl\u00e8s arrodoneixen l’oferta. \u00c9s situada a la part nova de Balaguer, en un carrer ple de comer\u00e7os. Just al davant hi ha l’Escola Pia, un dels centres educatius m\u00e9s grans de la comarca, una clientela potencial d’escolars i acompanyants est\u00e0 garantida. En el moment de la visita, som a principis de curs, la mare d’un nen amb samarreta del Bar\u00e7a li compra el kit escolar, gomes, llibretes, llapis. La comarca, la Noguera en comen\u00e7a anar plena de la nova llibreria, cada vegada s\u00f3n m\u00e9s freq\u00fcents les visites de gent dels pobles propers, trobaven a faltar una llibreria com aquesta.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n

La generositat i la distribuci\u00f3 de l’espai permet organitzar tota mena d’activitats, ja s’hi han fet algunes presentacions i actuacions. Amb la biblioteca municipal ha comen\u00e7at a preparar activitats conjuntes. A l’octubre t\u00e9 programat un taller d’escriptura creativa a c\u00e0rrec de David Mar\u00edn, autor de<\/span> Mala lluna <\/i>(La Magrana, 2015) una novel\u00b7la negra que transcorre entre la Noguera i Lleida. Actualment acull una exposici\u00f3 temporal de l’artista Arnau Torrente Capdevila, una s\u00e8rie d’estampes en les quals poesia i tipografia es fonen. Se’n faran m\u00e9s.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

L’Andrea \u00e9s de la segona promoci\u00f3 de l’Escola de Llibreria, valora molt positivament el postgrau. Potser sobren algunes classes de teoria i falta m\u00e9s temps dedicat a pr\u00e0ctiques a llibreries. De moment \u00e9s ell sol qui at\u00e9n la llibreria, la fam\u00edlia l’ajuda en temes administratius. Com sempre, li demano una recomanaci\u00f3; ho t\u00e9 clar, un cl\u00e0ssic contemporani: El senyor de les mosques <\/i>de William Golding. Jo m’emporto una versi\u00f3 infantil d’Els Argonautes. <\/i>Crec que l’Andrea l’ha encertat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
