Reading history. Mangel A.

When and where did the letters first arose? What is the sweetness of reading? Who taught camels to walk alphabetically? Is it true what kind of love for reading was executed? Is reading passion or resting? The author perceives reading as seduction, as a rebellion, as an obsession and traces the previously not told story about how we moved from a clay plate to a scroll, the code and, in the end, to hypertext. Infinitely fascinating, exciting study of what it means to be a reader, to understand ourselves through what we read. Among the characters of the book of Alberto Mangel, writers and philosophers, holy and simple mortal lovers of reading and books. About the author: Alberto Mangel (b. 1948), the famous Canadian culturalist, writer, director of the National Library of Argentina.
