New Otlet biography
September 18, 2006
Françoise Levie has just published a new biography of Paul Otlet entitled L'homme qui voulait classer le monde ("The Man who Wanted to Classify the World").
A few years ago, Levie was nice enough to give me permission to reproduce an excerpt from her documentary film of the same name, to accompany an article I wrote about Otlet for Boxes & Arrows.
If Levie's film is anything to go by, the book should make for a fascinating read - here's hoping it finds its way into an English translation soon.
