The L where a tabletop meets the legs, the T between double doors, the D of an armchair's oval backrest—all around us is an alphabet in things. But how did these shapes make it onto the page, never mind form complex structures such as this sentence? In The Greatest Invention, Silvia Ferrara takes a profound look at how—and how many times—human beings have managed to produce the miracle of written language, traveling back and forth in time and all across the globe to Mesopotamia, Crete, China, Egypt, Central America, Easter Island, and beyond.

Fascinating ride through writing's history

I learned a lot about early scripts, how they're created and how people decipher them. Chapters are short and easy to digest. The narrator/translator spoke very clearly and compellingly. Highly recommend!
