Now, this book about books takes on a new dimension in graphic novel format, illustrated by Tyto Alba. His exceptional drawings bring to life the battles of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra’s palaces, the first bookstores, and the workshops where scribes toiled to produce copies of manuscripts. In more recent times, they show the bonfires where banned books were burned, the bombed-out library of Sarajevo, and Oxford University’s twenty-first century underground library. Alba’s drawings and watercolors trace the legacy of a technology created five thousand years ago, when the Ancient Egyptians discovered the world-changing potential of a humble reed they called papyrus. In Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World, we become participants in a collective adventure alongside those who have created and protected the written word since then. “A gorgeous homage to a love for the classics, books, libraries and reading.” – Nuccio Ordine
