Drawing a mammoth on a rock wall, keeping accounts on papyrus, engraving magic signs on a turtle shell … Writing keeps track of our activities, of our rules, our ideas. It is sometimes a vector of knowledge, a tool of domination or a symbol of resistance. Indeed, writing makes it possible to engrave laws and exchange messages of love. Through it, a whole culture is expressed, an imagination is born. And this beautiful invention is not frozen: writing travels through time and across continents. It is truly one of the most fascinating achievements of human beings, which continues to reinvent itself in the 21st century.
