报告摘要：

我将带领听众漫游世界文学，聚焦故事讲述与书写技术的关联，包括纸、羊皮纸和印刷术的发明及其对文学的影响。我将展示文学的四个阶段，从奠基性质的史诗、伟大老师（如佛陀和苏格拉底）的言论，直至故事集的兴起和现代世界文学。这次旅程始于四千年前的美索不达米亚，终于1968年，临近月球。

I will take the audience on a romp through world literature by focusing on the intersection of storytelling and writing technologies, including the inventions of paper, parchment, and print and their influence on literature. Along the way, I will unfold four stages of literature, beginning with foundational epics and the sayings of master teachers (such as Buddha and Socrates) to the rise of story collections and a modern world literature. Having begun in Mesopotamia four thousand years ago, I will end in 1968, near the moon.
