«Le Livre de la langue française» is a book for learning French by Agnès Rosenstiehl, with illustrations by Pierre Gay, published by Gallimard in 1985.
The book explains the history of writing: when it consisted of drawings representing ideas, the Phoenicians, Mediterranean traders, created signs to quickly note down useful things. Those signs no longer depicted objects but sounds, and gave rise to the first alphabet, which was soon copied everywhere.
Work in French, 93 pages, hardback binding, in the Découverte Cadet collection.
Aimed at young readers who are starting to learn French and want to discover the origin of the alphabet.
