xThe invention of books
Infinite in Papyrus
Author: Irene Vallejo
If there were a copy of “One Thousand and One Nights” about books and writing, it is right here in your hands, in these pages written by researcher, novelist, and storyteller Irene Vallejo, “the Scheherazade of Books,” who blends history, literature, and pleasure with unparalleled skill.
The author traces the history of books, starting with the Great Library of Alexandria, which "created a home of paper for the homeless," where borders were abolished and the words of peoples coexisted. In elegant, fluid language, Irene Vallejo takes us back to the libraries of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Greece, Rome, and beyond. She also evokes the earliest forms of writing, the invention of the alphabet, and the evolution of the book from tablets and papyrus, through parchment and paper, to the electronic book.
The book contains space for the entire universe, and from here came the idea of “The Infinite in a Papyrus,” which was first published a few years ago, but quickly achieved resounding success and became a literary phenomenon in various parts of the world. It has been published in more than fifty editions in Spanish alone, and it has been translated into forty languages, and its author has won a large number of prestigious awards.
“Reading has always been a journey, a journey, a journey to find oneself.” On this journey, rich with adventures, anecdotes, and hardships, we trace the traces of all the books as if they were pieces of a scattered treasure, until we discover the origin of books and writing.
