With great sensitivity and admirable narrative ability, the author takes us back to the battlefields of Alexander, the palaces of Cleopatra, the first bookstores, and the manuscript copy workshops, but also visits the bonfires where forbidden codices burned, the library of Sarajevo, and the underground labyrinth of Oxford in the year 2000. Times blend and merge in the collective adventure of those who have only conceived life in the company of the written word. And this unique essay ends up prolonging the infinite dialogue it so masterfully discusses. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
