(2017·安徽省皖南高三联合测评)
A spiraling (成螺旋形的) tower made from thousands of books in dozens of languages is the later landmark in Buenos Aires, named the World Book Capital this year.Called the Tower of Babel, the 25meter high tower by Argentine artist Marta Minujin is made from 30,000 books, donated by readers, libraries and more than 50 embassies.
Climbing up its seven floors, visitors to the tower hear music composed by Minujin and the voice of the artist repeating the word “book” in scores of languages.
“Building this tower is really a wonder,” Minujin said, standing before the structure as curious passersby looked at a downtown city square.“A hundred years from now, people will say‘there was a Tower of Babel in Argentina...and it didn't need translation because art needs no translation'.”
Minujin, who worked with US artist Andy Warhol, built a fullscale mode of the Parthenon in Buenos Aires in 1983, using books banned by the military dictatorship (专政) that ended that year.
This year's book tower marks Buenos Aires' naming as the 2011 World Book Capital by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
“We've been laying books for 10 days straight,” said Sebastian Atienza, 26, who works for the company that built the tower under Minujin's command. “But it's worth it. It's where all languages come together.”
