Présentation de l'éditeur "In most fields the great work is done early on. The paintings made between 1430 and 1500 are still unsurpassed.

Albrecht Durer did the same thing with engraving, and Jane Austen with the novel. Biographie de l'auteur Paul Graham is the designer of the Arc language. He most recently worked for Yahoo.
