Samenvatting
Opinions from more than thirty writers on the significance of literature in Europe. Can literature strengthen a sense of European identity? What role does literature play in Europe? Contributors include Umberto Eco, Tim Parks and Adam Thorpe. The Director of the Oxford International Centre for Publishing Studies at Oxford Brookes University, Angus Phillips, contributes a chapter on ‘The Pleasure and Pain of Reading’. The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, has said of books: “The fact is that people don’t read anymore.” Is this true?
