For millennia, Death watched over the fleeting lives of mortals, claiming their souls as is her duty. Each year, the story was the same.

Bored of humanity’s antics, the reaper opened a quiet apothecary and began peddling her curious wares. Her little shop became an escape from their ire, a distraction to pass the decades.

Le isole greche sono terre del mito. Sono palcoscenici per avventure di eroi e divinità. L'Egeo è un mare di prodigi, un paesaggio di labirinti e di colossi, di vulcani e di palazzi. Ospita terre sacre, come la divina Delo, isola-ninfa che ha propiziato la nascita miracolosa di Apollo. Accoglie luoghi arcani, come Santorini, spezzata in due da un cataclisma, in tempi remoti, ma anche patria, secondo il folklore moderno, dei primi vampiri. Ogni isola ha la sua mitologia: a Creta è cresciuto Zeus, a Naxos si sono amati Arianna e Dioniso, a Serifos è apparsa la testa di Medusa.

Come recita un antico detto spagnolo, quando si verifica un'inondazione - di informazioni, nel nostro caso - la prima cosa che manca è l'acqua potabile. Per farsi un'idea sulle grandi questioni del nostro tempo, molti ricorrono a Wikipedia, alla televisione o a instant book come quelli pubblicati nei mesi seguiti al 7 ottobre 2023: testi spesso scritti da giornalisti o studiosi che non conoscono le lingue locali, non hanno mai lavorato su fonti primarie del Mediterraneo orientale o vissuto nei luoghi di cui scrivono, né hanno mai neanche visitato - fosse anche per qualche ora - Gaza.

La storia dell'editoria è la storia dell'emancipazione di un mestiere da un altro. Questo volume delinea tale parabola, ponendo in rilievo la relazione che intercorre fra libri e società, industria editoriale e storia nazionale. Ripercorrendo le vicende di alcune case editrici - fra cui Zanichelli, Treves, Bemporad, Hoepli, Laterza, Mondadori, Einaudi, Feltrinelli, Adelphi, Sellerio - e concentrando l'attenzione su alcune questioni trasversali alla loro attività, traccia un quadro non solo dell'editoria italiana, ma anche dell'Italia dei libri dall'età liberale a quella repubblicana.
