Every country depends on a handful of men of vast culture who, in their old age, disseminate the discoveries of their studies and the insights of their intellectual life. They are the ones who introduce unknown authors, put new terms into circulation, recommend works to be translated, guide publishers, and so on. They are the ones who can be designated as the intellectual elite. In the long run, only their influence is noticeable. And if they do not define it alone, alone they change the horizon of ideas and authors discussed throughout a country.
