«La escritura, archivo de la memoria» is the historical essay by Georges Jean, published by Aguilar in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The essay follows the adventure of writing over six millennia, from the first Mesopotamian tablets to the Mediterranean world, and analyzes how each implement —stylus, reed, awl or pen— marked its stroke and evolution. Writing is thus revealed as humanity's collective memory, a lasting archive of history and culture.
Translation by Beatriz Morla of the French original L'écriture, mémoire des hommes. The volume includes color illustrations, bibliography and index.
For readers curious about cultural history, paleography or the evolution of writing systems; also serves as accessible reading on Antiquity.
Jean-Georges is a two-Michelin-star restaurant at 1 Central Park West, on the lobby level of the Trump International Hotel and Tower, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, named after its owner Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
