Eight years in the making, Empire of the Word is a compelling look inside the act of reading and traces its impact on more than five thousand years of human history.
Introduced and narrated by one of the world's great readers, Canadian writer Alberto Manguel, the series traces reading's origins; examines how we learn to read; exposes censors' attempts to prevent our reading; and finally, proposes what the future might hold for this most human of creative acts.
Filmed in 15 countries Empire of the Word is an ambitious documentary in the grand tradition of the BBC's Planet Earth, Carl Sagan's Cosmos or Jacob Bronowski's The Ascent of Man. This is a must-see series about how reading is at the heart of human existence.
