Topic: Cry for your books! New reading of the young and the not so young anymore
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Lauer
There is a new desire for books, or more precisely for printed books. Young people in particular are cultivating the printed book in such a way that even publishers are surprised. People show their stacks of books they have read in the last month, mark their most treasured passages in books and take photos of themselves in front of colourfully arranged bookshelves. The lecture reports and analyses why printed books are experiencing a renaissance, especially in the digital society. Afterwards, we will round off the evening with a wine tasting.
