Packages, books, posters, brochures, tissues, magazines, money... : paper is everywhere, so present that it becomes invisible. The boom in computing tools has only made the consumption of paper increase.
By comparing the points of view of historians, writers, artists or those involved in the paper industry, Pierre-Marc de Biasi and Jacques Mény recount its invention and the adventure of its techniques which, one after another, have overwhelmed every civilisation.
