Like most other things,a book is the result of thousands of years of human invention.
First,the invention of writing came out from about 5500 years ago.With writing,people did not have to remember everything in their heads.They could communicate with people that they never saw and share their knowledge with future people.
Later,the Greeks(希臘人)were well-known for their literature and science,but their "books" looked very different from the books of today.They were called scrolls(卷軸).They were difficult to use.About 2000 years ago,books with lots of pages were invented.
For more than a thousand years,the pages of books were made from animals' skin(皮膚).That changed in the thirteenth century,when Europeans learned about a very useful Chinese invention –paper.
But the big change for books in Europe came in 1439,when Johannaes Gutenberg invented the printing press(印刷機(jī)).Before that,books in Europe were copied by hand,so they were very expensive.
These days,it is difficult to imagine a world without books.But human invention does not stop.Every year,more stories are bought as e-books,and reading them on a screen is becoming more and more popular.
