Reading in the dark®

Through the absence of light, this format cancels any distinction between those who read with their eyes, those with their hands, and those with their ears. Well known authors and blind or print impaired readers alternately read the same book, revealing the different ways of using it.

The initiative is organized in the framework of Aldus UP, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme.
