Krátky popis
‘The book is like the spoon: once invented, it cannot be bettered.’
Umberto Eco These days it is almost impossible to get away from
discussions of whether the ‘book’ will survive the digital
revolution. Blogs, tweets and newspaper articles on the subject
appear daily, many of them repetitive, most of them admitting they
don’t know what will happen. Amidst the twittering, the thoughts of
Jean-Claude Carriere and Umberto Eco come as a breath of fresh air.
There are few people better placed to discuss the past, present and
future of the book. Both avid book collectors with a deep
understanding of history, they have explored through their work the
many and varied ways ideas have been represented through the ages.
This thought-provoking book takes the form of a long conversation
in which Carriere and Eco discuss everything from what can be
defined as the first book to what is happening to knowledge now
that infinite amounts of information are available at the click of
a mouse. En route there are delightful digressions into personal
anecdote. We find out about Eco’s first computer and the book
Carriere is most sad to have sold. Readers will close this
entertaining book feeling they have had the privilege of
eavesdropping on an intimate discussion between two great minds.
And while, as Carriere says, the one certain thing about the future
is that it is unpredictable, it is clear from this conversation
that, in some form or other, the book will survive.
