Paperback. Mejor Libro del Siglo XXI segun los libreros de EspanaDe humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de seda, de piel, de arboles, de plastico y de luz. Un recorrido por la vida del libro y de quienes lo han salvaguardado durante casi treinta siglos. Este es un libro sobre la historia de los libros. Un recorrido por la vida de ese fascinante artefacto que inventamos para que las palabras pudieran viajar en el espacio y en el tiempo. Es la historia de su fabricacion y de todos los modelos y formatos de libros que hemos ensayado a lo largo de casi treinta siglos. Es, ademas, un libro de viajes. Una ruta con escalas en los campos de batalla de Alejandro y en la Villa de los Papiros bajo la erupcion del Vesubio, en los palacios de Cleopatra y en el escenario del crimen de Hipatia, en las primeras librerias conocidas y en los talleres de copia manuscrita, en las hogueras donde ardieron codices prohibidos, en el gulag, en la biblioteca de Sarajevo y en el laberinto subterraneo de Oxford en el ano 2000. Un hilo que une a los clasicos con el vertiginoso mundo contemporaneo, conectandolos con debates actuales: Aristofanes y los procesos judiciales contra humoristas, Safo y la voz literaria de las mujeres, Tito Livio y el fenomeno fan, Seneca y la posverdad Pero, sobre todo, esta es una fabulosa aventura colectiva protagonizada por miles de personas que, a lo largo del tiempo, han hecho posibles y han protegido los libros: narradoras orales, escribas, iluminadores, traductores, vendedores ambulantes, maestras, sabios, espias, rebeldes, monjas, esclavos, aventureras; Lectores en paisajes de montana y junto al mar que ruge, en las capitales donde la energia se concentra y en los enclaves mas apartados donde el saber se refugia en tiempos de caos. Gente comun cuyos nombres en muchos casos no registra la historia, esos salvadores de libros que son los autenticos protagonistas de esta obra.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONBest Book of the 21st Century according to Spanish booksellersShortlisted for the 2023 British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding.From smoke, stone, clay, silk, leather, trees, plastic, and light . A journey through the life of books and of those who have safeguarded them for almost thirty centuries.This is a book about the history of books. A journey through the life of that fascinating object that we invented so that words could travel in space and time.It is also a travel book whose route has stopovers in the battlefields of Alexander the Great and in the Villa of the Papyri during Mount Vesuvius eruption, in Cleopatras palaces and at the scene of Hypatias murder, in the first-ever known bookstores and in the workshops where manuscripts were copied, at the bonfires where forbidden texts were burned, in the gulag, in the Sarajevo library, and in the Oxford underground labyrinth in 2000. It is a thread that unites classics with the dizzying contemporary world, connecting them with current debates: Aristophanes and the judicial processes against comedy-writers, Sapphoand the literary voice of women, Tito Livio and the fan phenomenon, Seneca and post-truth.But above all, this is a fabulous collective adventure starring thousands of people who, over time, have made books possible and have protected them.
