In Brazil, he is considered an obligatory reference in subjects like edition, publishing and technologies of books. Based on a relevant bibliography by Chartier, published in Portuguese, some of his ideas and concepts about writing culture, especially before digital technologies, are compiled and discussed here. Also, relations between books publishing and literature are linked and discussed.
