Paper Book (5610102097)

Have you ever wondered about the adventure of "paper", a material that has maintained its importance even in today's digitalized world, without losing its place, as both the guardian and transmitter of information for thousands of years, without ever leaving the stage of history? While events, actors and tools are constantly changing, we invite you to take a journey from ancient times to modern times in one big hour by reviewing what we know about "paper", which bears witness to all these, enables them to be recorded, is the friend of thought, the host of literature, the carrier of history and the transmitter of faith. From the banks of the Nile to the Japanese islands, from the mysterious adventures of travelers to the silent wisdom of libraries, from manual dexterity to industrial production, from tradition to the future, we are telling a story of humanity, this time with "paper" itself in the leading role. Of course, we present our story to you again and again, on paper, with respect for paper, with the sweet surprise of fitting history into a volume.
