«La escritura, memoria de la humanidad» is the historical essay by Georges Jean, published by Ediciones B in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Georges Jean narrates writing as a great adventure of humanity from its origins six thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia, and analyses how tools such as the stylus, the calamus, the awl or the pen conditioned the shape of signs. Writing thus becomes transmission of cultural heritage and collective memory.
It belongs to the Claves collection, number 17, and is a translation from French by Enrique Hormigo Sánchez.
For readers interested in the history of writing, palaeography and cultural transmission.
Jean-Georges is a two-Michelin-star restaurant at 1 Central Park West, on the lobby level of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, named after its owner Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
