This is a book about the history of books — the invention of the first human civilizations. To get a modern and understandable look, the book had to go through a path of several millennia. From clay tablets to the first printing press, the author immerses readers in a journey from ancient civilizations to today's times. The route of this book passes through the battlefield of Alexander the Great, The Papyrus Villa during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and Cleopatra's Palace, through the first known bookstores, the Gulag, the Sarajevo library and the Oxford underground maze.
