    Me llamo Libro y te contaré la historia de mi vida. ¡No ficción como nunca la has leído! Peculiar y divertida, mitad poesía, mitad reflexión, ¡esta es la historia del libro contada nada menos que por el mismísimo Libro! Este extraordinario personaje comienza recordándonos sus orígenes en la historia oral y las tablillas de arcilla, luego reflexiona sobre el papiro, el pergamino y el papel, y sobre ser un pergamino que finalmente tiene lomo. Lo vemos amorosamente iluminado por monjes en monasterios medievales, y luego presenciamos los enormes cambios provocados por la invención de la imprenta y la llegada de los libros de bolsillo y los libros electrónicos en el siglo XX. Pero Libros no es un tipo estrictamente cronológico; no puede evitar reflexionar, y sus reflexiones, ya sean sobre la evolución del alfabeto, las bibliotecas, la quema de libros o las reseñas, son encantadoras y estimulantes.

    English Translation

    Book. My Autobiography

    My name is Book and Ill tell you the story of my life. Nonfiction like you've never read it before! Quirky and humorous, part poetry, part reflection, this is the story of the book told by none other than Book himself! This extraordinary character begins by reminding us of his origins in oral story and clay tablets, then ponders on papyrus, parchment and paper, and on being a scroll who finally gets a spine. We see him lovingly illuminated by monks in medieval monasteries, then witness the massive changes brought about by the invention of the printing press, and the coming of paperbacks and e-books in the 20th century. But Books not a straightforwardly chronological chap; he cant help musingand his musings, whether theyre on the evolution of the alphabet, libraries, book-burning or blurbs, are delightful and thought-provoking.
