Klappentext zu „Sansom, I: Paper: An Elegy “
A witty, personal and entertaining meditation on the history and meaning of paper during the (passing) era of its universal importance. In PAPER: AN ELEGY Ian Sansom curates a history of paper, in all its forms and functions. Both a cultural study and a series of personal reflections on the meaning of paper, this book is a timely meditation on the very paper it's printed on. As we enter a world beyond paper, Sansom explores the paradoxes of paper - its vulnerability and its durability - and shows how some kinds of paper will always be with us.
