1) Stefan Zweig said that books are written, mainly, to unite human beings — and thus defend us against the inexorable characteristics of existence: forgetfulness and fleetingness.
2) Books are not just objects of knowledge or entertainment, but catalysts of human experience, agents of connection between human beings, tools to combat impermanence.
3) With their ability to transcend time, they record thoughts, feelings, stories, and human experiences that would otherwise be lost in time.
4) Exactly for this reason, they have the unique ability to unite people: through the words of an author, readers from different eras and cultures can connect, sharing empathy, inspirations, reflections. This ability to unite is especially important in a world that often seems to be increasingly fragmented.
5) On the one hand, books serve as reminders of our mortality — on the other, they act as unifying agents, transcending barriers, connecting humanity.
6) In an era like ours, in which information has become ephemeral and volatile, good books remain as testimonies of the most different journeys, reminding us of our humanity.
7) Literature, therefore, is not just a set of words, it is not just language, but true vital force: it unites and preserves human experience.
