El infinito en un junco
Alba, Tyto
Vallejo Moreu, Irene
Infinity in a Reed, by Irene Vallejo, is an extraordinary hymn to the love of books that has seduced millions of people around the world. This book about books takes a new flight in the form of a graphic adaptation by the cartoonist Tyto Alba, whose exceptional illustrations take us to the battlefields of Alexander the Great, the palaces of Cleopatra, the first bookstores and the manuscript copying workshops, but also to the bonfires where forbidden codices burned, the bombed library of Sarajevo and the underground labyrinth of Oxford in the year 2000. These drawings and watercolors, which tell the story of an incomparable artifact born five millennia ago, when the Egyptians discovered the potential of a reed they called papyrus, make us participate in the collective adventure of those who have safeguarded books for almost three thousand years.
