Umberto Eco - an Italian writer and philosopher, author of the novels "The Name of the Rose", "Foucault's Pendulum", and others.
Jean-Claude Carrière - a French screenwriter (author of scripts for the films "The Daytime Beauty", "The Discreet Charm of the...
Bourgeoisie", "The Tin Drum", and others), writer, actor.
Beyond their friendship, they share a passionate love for books. "A book - like a spoon, a hammer, a wheel, or scissors - says Umberto Eco. - Once they were invented, nothing better can be imagined".
"Don't Hope to Get Rid of Books!" - this is a record of the conversation between two intellectuals about the fate of the book in the digital age, as well as many other equally fascinating subjects:
— Is it true that the first flash drives appeared in the 18th century?
— Why do some works of art survive to our days while others disappear without a trace in the labyrinths of the past?
— How much does the most expensive book in the world cost?
— What benefits can come from foolishness?
— Is it true that libraries have their own special hell, and how to get into it?
"Don't Hope to Get Rid of Books!" - this is a wonderful gift for people in love with books. This love, as we know, is always mutual…
