«El infinito en un junco» is Irene Vallejo's essay on the history of books, published by Siruela in paperback (452 pages, in Spanish).
An essay spanning nearly thirty centuries of book history, from the earliest supports —clay, papyrus, parchment— to digital formats. The author combines travel writing with portraits of those who created, copied, and protected books, connecting the classical world with current debates such as censorship, fanaticism, or women's voices in literature.
Part of the Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie mayor collection (volume 105). It won the Premio Nacional de Ensayo 2020 and the Premio El Ojo Crítico de Narrativa 2019.
Aimed at readers interested in the history of the book, libraries, and classical culture, with a popularizing approach far from academicism.
Irene Vallejo Moreu, born in Zaragoza in 1979, is a Spanish philologist, historian, and writer.
