207 hlm; 17,5 x 12,5 cm Writing lies at the root of our civilization. It is the accumulated memory of mankind and its story is an epic one spanning six thousand years. From the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates to the shores of the Mediterranean, from hieroglyphics and cuneiform to the Phoenicians and the alphabet as we know it, we follow its mysterious course through the ages. Colourful medieval manuscripts lead to the invention of printing and the rich world of modern lettering in all its forms.
