Many, many years ago a town crier ran through the streets and shouted out all the news. But now we live in the Atomic Age. Too many things happen too quickly for us to learn about them in the old-fashioned way. That is why we have to read more and more in order to find out what is happening in the world. Reading is rarely a waste of time.
Have you everthoughtaboutthe kind of books people used long ago? It is only in the last 500 years that books have been printed on paper. Before that time the only way of making books was to write them out by hand. No one knows when writing first began, but we have found drawings on the walls of caves and scratchings on bones which are at least 25,000 years old.
The invention of paper played a very important part in the development of books.
In the 11th century the art of papermaking reached Europe but no trace of printing was found in Europe until 1423. It is known that Johann Gutenberg secretly tried out ways of printing in Strasbourg, Germany, in 1440.
Книги
Много-много лет назад по улицам бегал городской глашатай и выкрикивал новости. Но сейчас мы живем в атомном веке. Многие события происходят слишком быстро, чтобы мы узнавали о них устаревшими Вот почему нам приходится больше и больше читать, чтобы узнавать о том, что происходит в мире. Чтение редко бывает напрасной тратой времени.
Вы когда-нибудь думали о том, какие книги люди читали много лет назад? Книги печатаются на бумаге только последние 500 лет. До этого времени единственным сделать книгу было написать ее вручную. Никто не знает, когда впервые появилась письменность, но найдены рисунки на стенах пещер и на костях, которым, по крайней мере, 25 000 лет.
Изобретение бумаги сыграло очень важную роль в развитии книги.
В XI веке искусство делать бумагу пришло в Европу, но не обнаружено никаких следов книгопечатания в Европе до 1423 г. Известно, что Иоганн Гутенберг втайне пытался печатать в Страсбурге (Германия) в 1440 г.
