«El tesoro de los saberes olvidados» is the essay by Jacqueline de Romilly, published by Ediciones Península in paperback.
The author begins from her almost total loss of sight to argue that literary education transforms our way of seeing the world: we see with memory and with what we have learned, also with what has been forgotten. Thus, the book is a defense of the humanities and of their capacity to understand, feel and interpret reality.
Translated by Manuel Serrat Crespo; originally published in French as «Le Trésor des savoirs oubliés». Volume 25 of the Ficciones collection.
Intended for adult readers interested in humanism, classical literature and the defense of the humanities.
Jacqueline Worms de Romilly was a French philologist, classical scholar and fiction writer. She was the first woman nominated to the Collège de France, and in 1988, the second woman to enter the Académie française.
