505 0 $aThe book will never die -- There is nothing more ephemeral than long-term media formats -- It took chickens almost a century to learn not to cross the road -- Do we need to know the name of every soldier at the Battle of Waterloo? -- The revenge is filtered-out -- Every book published today is a post-incunabulum -- Books with a will to survive -- Our knowledge of the past comes from halfwits, fools and people with a grudge -- Nothing can put an end to vanity -- In praise of stupidity -- The Internet, or the impossibility of damnation memoriae -- Fire as censor -- All the books we haven't read -- Books on the altar and books in 'Hell' -- What will happen to your book collections when you die?
520 $aA book lover today might sometimes feel like the fictional medieval friar William of Baskerville in Eco's The Name of the Rose, watching the written word become lost to time. In This Is Not the End of the Book, that book's author, Umberto Eco, and his fellow raconteur Jean-Claude Carriere sit down for a dazzling dialogue about memory and the pitfalls, blanks, omissions, and irredeemable losses of which it is made. Both men collect rare and precious books, and they joyously hold up books as hardy survivors, engaging in a critical, impassioned, and rollicking journey through book history, from papyrus scrolls to the e-book. Along the way, they touch upon science and subjectivity, dialectics and anecdotes, and they wear their immense learning lightly. A smiling tribute to what Marshall McLuhan called the Gutenberg Galaxy, this dialogue will be a delight for all readers and book lovers. - Publisher.
