Sinopse

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK - THEORETICAL CATEGORY - FNLIJ 2011 "(...) the 'e-book' will not kill the book—just as Gutenberg and his ingenious invention did not eliminate the use of codices overnight, nor did Gutenberg eliminate the trade in papyrus scrolls or volumina. Customs and traditions coexist, and we desire nothing more than to broaden the range of possibilities. Did film kill the painting? Did television kill cinema? Welcome, then, to the drawing boards and reading peripherals that give us access, through a single screen, to the now-digitalized universal library." From papyrus to the electronic archive, Umberto Eco and Jean-Claude Carrière traverse 5,000 years of book history in a discussion that is erudite and humorous, wise and subjective, dialectical and anecdotal, curious and tasteful. In the conversation between the authors, moderated by journalist Jean-Philippe de Tonnac, the intention is not only to understand the transformations heralded by the adoption of e-books, but to initiate a thought-provoking and timely debate based on the premise that the history of books and the love for them will save them from disappearance. The experience of bibliophiles, collectors of old and rare books, researchers, and incunabula hunters leads them to consider the book, like the wheel, a perfect and unsurpassed invention. The book appears here as a solid, anatomically and functionally adequate institution that technological revolutions, whether announced or feared, will not exterminate. The authors enjoy showing how the book has traversed human history, for better and sometimes for worse—Eco assembled a collection of extremely rare books on human error, as, for him, they condition every attempt to found a theory of truth. Given the challenge posed by the universal digitization of writings and the adoption of new e-reading tools, this evocation of the book's fortunes and misfortunes allows us to put into perspective the changes to come. A playful tribute to Gutenberg, these conversations will captivate all readers and book enthusiasts. And it's not impossible that they will also fuel the nostalgia of e-book owners.
