by Martin Puchner
5 stars
The history of literature and writing is one shaped by technology, civilization, religion and politics and I have never read it so entertainingly revealed as in this book. Starting in Mesopotamia and working his way to the Potter universe, Puchner examines the changing form and function of literature through the ages. Each chapter details a different geographical and historical location and how it relates to the time before and ahead of it. Interspersed with informative pictures and brief personal travel anecdotes, this book is the definitive book on books for any book lover. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
