I wouldn't call it telepathy because telepathy means more of a direct mind-to-mind contact.
It's not only literature that gives us a glimpse into the minds of people who lived a very long time ago. Art and especially architecture, are also great indicators of what the people who created them were like. So is film, come to think of it.

Thank you. I am a writer and this is, ultimately, why most of us write -- to share our thoughts and feelings with others. 'Literary technique' is what we call the set of methods and tricks we use to do this as accurately as we can, because it's only telepathy if the right thoughts get through.

Great write up. This is a thought that's been running through my head on and off for some time now, though I never could put it as eloquently as you have here.

A very interesting perspective on books and the power of words as they echo throughout the ages.
With modern advancements in technology, it appears as if physical books have become less appealing; why carry around a thick novel or textbook when you can just use a tablet or notebook to store hundreds at once? Still, temporarily removing yourself from the excesses of technology and reading a physical book remains rewarding.
