PREMIO NACIONAL DE ENSAYO 2020 De humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de seda, de piel, de árboles, de plástico y de luz...Un recorrido por la vida del libro y de quienes lo han salvaguardado durante casi treinta siglos. Este es un libro sobre la historia de los libros. Un recorrido por la vida de ese fascinante artefacto que inventamos para que las palabras pudieran viajar en el espacio y en el tiempo. La historia de su fabricación, de todos los tipos que hemos ensayado a lo largo de casi treinta siglos: libros de humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de juncos, de seda, de piel, de árboles y, los últimos llegados, de plástico y luz. Es, además, un libro de viajes. Una ruta con escalas en los campos de batalla de Alejandro y en la Villa de los Papiros bajo la erupción del Vesubio, en los palacios de Cleopatra y en el escenario del crimen de Hipatia, en las primeras librerías conocidas y en los talleres de copia manuscrita, en las hogueras donde ardieron códices prohibidos, en el gulag, en la biblioteca de Sarajevo y en el laberinto subterráneo de Oxford en el año 2000. Un hilo que une a los clásicos con el vertiginoso mundo contemporáneo, conectándolos con debates actuales: Aristófanes y los procesos judiciales contra humoristas, Safo y la voz literaria de las mujeres, Tito Livio y el fenómeno fan, Séneca y la posverdad... Pero, sobre todo, esta es una fabulosa aventura colectiva protagonizada por miles de personas que, a lo largo del tiempo, han hecho posibles y han protegido los libros: narradoras orales, escribas, iluminadores, traductores, vendedores ambulantes, maestras, sabios, espías, rebeldes, monjas, esclavos, aventureras... Lectores en paisajes de montaña y junto al mar que ruge, en las capitales donde la energía se concentra y en los enclaves más apartados donde el saber se refugia en tiempos de caos. Gente común cuyos nombres en muchos casos no registra la historia, esos salvadores de libros que son los auténticos protagonistas de este ensayo. «Muy bien escrito, con páginas realmente admirables; el amor a los libros y a la lectura son la atmósfera en la que transcurren las páginas de esta obra maestra. Tengo la seguridad absoluta de que se seguirá leyendo cuando sus lectores de ahora estén ya en la otra vida». MARIO VARGAS LLOSA

A rich exploration of the importance of books and libraries in the ancient world that highlights how humanity’s obsession with the printed word has echoed throughout the ages Long before books were mass-produced, scrolls hand copied on reeds pulled from the Nile were the treasures of the ancient world. Emperors and Pharaohs were so determined to possess them that they dispatched emissaries to the edges of earth to bring them back. When Mark Antony wanted to impress Cleopatra, he knew that gold and priceless jewels would mean nothing to her. So, what did her give her? Books for her library—two hundred thousand, in fact. The long and eventful history of the written word shows that books have always been and will always be a precious—and precarious—vehicle for civilization. Papyrus is the story of the book’s journey from oral tradition to scrolls to codices, and how that transition laid the very foundation of Western culture. Award-winning author Irene Vallejo evokes the great mosaic of literature in the ancient world from Greece’s itinerant bards to Rome’s multimillionaire philosophers, from opportunistic forgers to cruel teachers, erudite librarians to defiant women, all the while illuminating how ancient ideas about education, censorship, authority, and identity still resonate today. Crucially, Vallejo also draws connections to our own time, from the library in war-torn Sarajevo to Oxford’s underground labyrinth, underscoring how words have persisted as our most valuable creations. Through nimble interpretations of the classics, playful and moving anecdotes about her own encounters with the written word, and fascinating stories from history, Vallejo weaves a marvelous tapestry of Western culture’s foundations and identifies the humanist values that helped make us who we are today. At its heart a spirited love letter to language itself, Papyrus takes readers on a journey across the centuries to discover how a simple reed grown along the banks of the Nile would give birth to a rich and cherished culture.

Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin America's recent history.

Este libro sobre libros emprende otro vuelo en forma de adaptación gráfica a cargo del dibujante Tyto Alba, cuyas excepcionales ilustraciones nos trasladan a los campos de batalla de Alejandro Magno, los palacios de Cleopatra, las primeras librerías y los talleres de copia manuscrita, pero también a las hogueras donde ardieron códices prohibidos, la biblioteca bombardeada de Sarajevo y el laberinto subterráneo de Oxford en el año 2000. Estos dibujos y acuarelas, que cuentan la historia de un artefacto incomparable nacido hace cinco milenios, cuando los egipcios descubrieron el potencial de un junco al que llamaron papiro, nos hacen partícipes de la aventura colectiva de quienes han salvaguardado los libros desde entonces. En esta nueva versión, revisada y aumentada, las fabulosas ilustraciones de Tyto Alba cobran aún más relevancia y el resultado es una adaptación gráfica para jóvenes de todas las edades. «Este libro, nacido como tributo a los libros, tenía que ser el mejor cómic que fuéramos capaces de crear. Así que nos embarcamos en la odisea de reescribirlo: una versión renovada con mayor protagonismo del dibujo. Pudimos incorporar cientos de sugerencias, propuestas y pasajes favoritos de quienes llamo cariñosamente "tribu del junco"». Irene Vallejo Reseñas: «Un precioso testimonio de amor por los clásicos, los libros, las bibliotecas y la lectura». Nuccio Ordine «Muy bien escrito, con páginas realmente admirables; el amor a los libros y a la lectura son la atmósfera en la que transcurren las páginas de esta obra maestra. Tengo la seguridad absoluta de que se seguirá leyendo cuando sus lectores de ahora estén ya en la otra vida». Mario Vargas Llosa «Esos libros que te desbravan, que te doman, que te imponen el ritmo de lectura, que te quitan los nervios, no suelen encontrarse, pese a ser tan necesarios, en las primeras líneas de las mesas de novedades.Elúltimo de los descubiertos por mí se titula El infinito en un junco y es de Irene Vallejo». Juan José Millás «Una admirable indagación sobre los orígenes del mayor instrumento de libertad que se ha dado el ser humano: el libro». Rafael Argullol «Los libros deIrene Vallejo, claros e inteligentes, se leen muy bien e invitan a pensar. En la mejor línea humanista». Carlos García Gual «Se puede ser un filólogo magistral y al mismo tiempo escribir como los ángeles. Irene Vallejo riza el rizo de la comunicación hasta convertir su diálogo con el lector en una fiesta literaria». Luis Alberto de Cuenca

A New Scientist Book of the Year Prehistory is all around us. We just need to know where to look. Juan José Millás has always felt like he doesn’t quite fit into human society. Sometimes he wonders if he is even a Homo sapiens at all, or something simpler. Perhaps he is a Neanderthal who somehow survived? So he turns to Juan Luis Arsuaga, one of the world’s leading palaeontologists and a super-smart sapiens, to explain why we are the way we are and where we come from. Over the course of many months, the two visit different places, many of them common scenes of our daily lives, and others unique archaeological sites. Arsuaga tries to teach the Neanderthal how to think like a sapiens and, above all, that prehistory is not a thing of the past: that traces of humanity through the millennia can be found anywhere, from a cave or a landscape to a children’s playground or a toy shop. Millás and Arsuaga invite you on a journey of wonder that unites scientific discovery with the greatest human invention of all: the art of storytelling.

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015. The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.
