A familiar question on a computer screen, mobile phone or e-reader? Do you go to bookstores and reference libraries? Hoping to escape the book?
"You will not be lucky!" - say two European intellectuals participating in a friendly conversation: "The book remains an object like a spoon, hammer, wheel or scissors." These things could not be improved after they were invented. You cannot invent a better spoon than a spoon.''
Umberto Eco is a famous Italian writer, medieval specialist and semiotician, Jean-Claude Carrière is a famous French novelist, historian, screenwriter, actor, patriarch of French cinema.
Both are passionate about books: old and new, popular and rare, clever and silly. And they protect the object of their passion with all their erudition and wit.
The authors easily move from serious topics—ways of transmitting knowledge, the role of papyrus and mnemonics, the Internet, and e-books—to historical anecdotes and casual curiosities. At the same time, the reader will learn why ``I owe the knowledge of the past to cretins, weaklings and enemies'' or why Umberto Eco read War and Peace at the age of forty.
