RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

burdened with suffering, he knows the parth to language«. Thus, instead of television being a rival to the book and to the »old«, »former« language of literature, television can attach itself to a whole ocean of knowledge accumulated in national libraries and become a fast sower of knowledge from books which then stops being bookish and radiates life and the light of day.

The only question is: where to fmd a customer for such a project.
