Romance of the Written Word

A pair of all writing is, without a doubt, the most extraordinary invention of humanity: conveying ideas through a code of signals capable of recording the word, beyond time and distance. In the sarcophagus of Ahiram, King of Byblos, is the oldest known Phoenician inscription. From there to email, or SMS messages, is a long journey that this book recounts.
