In addition to friendship, they are united by a passionate love of books. "A book is like a spoon, a hammer, a wheel or scissors," says Umberto Eco. "Once they have been invented, nothing better can be invented."
"Don't Hope to Get Rid of Books!" is a recording of a conversation between two erudite scholars about the fate of books in the digital age, as well as many other, no less interesting subjects:
— Is it true that the first flash drives appeared in the 18th century?
— Why do some works of art survive to this day, while others disappear without a trace in the labyrinths of the past?
— How much does the most expensive book in the world cost?
— What good can come from stupidity?
— Is it true that libraries have their own special hell, and how can you get into it?
“Don’t hope to get rid of books!” is a wonderful gift for people in love with books. After all, this love, as we know, is always mutual…
