In September 1931, Federico García Lorca inaugurated the library of his hometown, Fuente Vaqueros, with an emotional speech praising books and reading as a source of knowledge in the face of ignorance, as spiritual nourishment beyond vital needs, as a horizon of individual and collective liberation in the face of the oppression of the economic and political system, as an open window to culture... Lorca refers to the book as the greatest work of humanity and formulates a chronological review from its precedents in stone to current publications in paper, passing through the invention of the printing press, which he describes as a "revolution of souls".
