How many times has each of us bought a book to open it, read several pages or chapters, put it on a shelf with the words: “I’ll read it later,” and forget about it forever. But a little Argentine Eterna Cadencia publishing house created publishing technology books with the title El libro que no puede esperar, which will literally force you to read the purchased volume. The title El libro que no puede esperar can be translated as "The Book That Can't Wait". The fact is that this edition is sold in a sealed package. And the moment you get rid of it and open the book, you automatically start the process of destroying the text on its pages.
This is because the letters on the pages of El libro que no puede esperar are printed with ink that is destroyed by air and light. Moreover, the complete process of their disappearance takes four months.
During these four months, as conceived by the creators of El libro que no puede esperar, you should read this book. Delay - you will have to buy another one. Unless, of course, you really wanted to read it.
El libro que no puede esperar technology was also created to popularize half-forgotten South American authors who wrote in Spanish. Its “disappearing” nature is a metaphor for works that, once popular, are now practically forgotten, have practically disappeared from the memory of people. And the El libro que no puede esperar project is one of the ways to return this cultural heritage to the public.
The publisher that created El libro que no puede esperar also wants to popularize young Argentine authors through the disappearing text. “Books are very patient! They can wait for days, months, years until we open them. This is normal for books, but not normal for aspiring authors. After all, if you don’t read their debut works, you don’t buy subsequent literary experiments”- this is how the Eterna Cadencia publishers explain the concept of their unusual books.
