内容简介 · · · · · · 字母的最初构想从何处而来?它是如何发展成为今天最常见的罗马字母系统的? 因为有了字母,西方文明才得以奠定基石。 字母为整个西方世界的认同感提供了重要的要素:以色列人用字母定义他们的上帝、希腊人用字母记录神话、罗马人用字母展现力量;今天,透过网际网路,罗马字母俨然有主宰世界之势。 本书作者以风趣清新的文笔首次对第一次详细地探讨西方字母起源和发展,从埃及、希腊、罗马到俄罗斯、蒙古、西夏,乃至朝鲜,追寻字母足迹所到之处,展现出字母是如何从岩壁碑铭、陶瓷碎片上演进而来的,又是如何在与其它文化的竞争中占据了主流地位的,作者将种种考古发现、历史事件、神话故事与传说编织起来,侃侃而谈,并分析比较字母、楔形文字、象形文字和中文的书写特点。
