TELEGRAPHLong before books were mass-produced, scrolls hand copied
on reeds pulled from the Nile were the treasures of the ancient
world. Emperors and Pharaohs were so determined to possess them
that they dispatched emissaries to the edges of the earth to bring
them back. In Papyrus, celebrated classicist Irene Vallejo traces
the dramatic history of the book and the fight for its
survival.This is the story of the book's journey from oral
tradition to scrolls to codices, and how that transition laid the
very foundation of Western culture. And it is a story full of
heroic adventures, bloodshed and megalomania - from the
battlefields of Alexander the Great and the palaces of Cleopatra to
the libraries of war-torn Sarajevo and Oxford. An international
bestseller, Papyrus brings the ancient world to life and celebrates
the enduring power of the written word.
