Thank you for helping, but why have been written? It happened before the reading. (I just want to understand it.

You cannot have a past tense in a to infinitive construction. "To have + past participle" expresses the past relative to its main verb. Here is a simpler example:
It seems that this book was written by E.H. = This book seems to have been written by E.H.
By the way, doesn't it say on the cover who the author is?
