The impression is not dead.
In fact, he is organizing one of his biggest annual festivals this week.
The Frankfurt Book Fair kicks off today, bringing together hundreds of thousands of people in publishing and related fields for days of galloping, bargaining, sightseeing and sightseeing.
The tradition goes back 800 years, long before Johannes Gutenberg printed the first page printed in Europe in 1454.
Frankfurt was a thriving medieval shopping center. In 1240, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick II, decreed that no one should harass travelers at his autumn fair, where wine, gold, horses and more were bought and sold.
Handwritten manuscripts began to be sold there, precursors of the book. Frankfurt held his first book fair recorded in 1462.
Then, as now, it was a place where people mingled and ideas flowed.
Henri II Estienne, a Frenchman, praised the fair of 1574 for bringing together so many scholars.
The effect, he said, was an Athens of modern times: "In fact, it should happen in this city where once had flourished the most famous intellectual life of all Greece"
The guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year is Georgia. 90 new translations of Georgian books are planned for this occasion.
