“The ability to write by hand is a subconscious manifestation of the true essence of a person,” says Ann Trubek, a specialist in the field of language and literature, a well-known American publisher and author. Does this entity become more mysterious, hiding behind the standardized symbols of keyboards, virtual and real? Is writing a social skill or an art? Tracing the history of writing traditions inextricably linked to the history of culture and invention - from Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and medieval illuminated manuscripts to handwritten styles and fonts that appeared after the invention of the printing press, typewriter and computers, Ann Trubek reveals the diverse aspects of the "handwritten" theme and models the perspectives of writing in the era of the digital revolution.
