La memoria vegetal

The human brain has, since the beginning of time, an organic and a mineral memory, engraved on stones and clay tablets. Along with them, in parallel, a more profound, silent and revolutionary one has developed: plant memory, printed on papyri and rags until it reaches the paper from the tree that we know today. His instrument of survival is the book, an object of love and devotion for centuries. Umberto Eco, the "integral humanist", according to Fernando Savater, dedicates these unpublished and illuminating texts to bibliophiles like himself, to future bibliophiles and to those who still do not know they are. A book to learn, be dazzled, get excited and always keep reading.
