I am trying to create a document of book type, but instead of having pages in vertical orientation in which each page of the document is a page of the book, I want to orientate the page to be horizontal, and with two columns.

The reason of doing it is that I want to get a book in which each horizontal page of the LaTeX document refers to 2 pages of the book (each column representing a page).

It is possible? How can I get it?

This is called the landscape format. Just use \documentclass[landscape,twocolumn]{book}. – Bernard Dec 05 '17 at 09:56

Why do you want this? It doesn't make sense to do this, imho. – Skillmon Dec 05 '17 at 09:56
"each horizontal page of the LaTeX document refers to 2 pages of the book" -> does this mean you want to actually have two horizontal pages side by side with an end result of seemingly 4 pages? Research pdfpages or pdfjam and its pdfnup tool. – Georges Dec 05 '17 at 10:36

I want a single document page to have 2 columns of text, and each column to represent one page, with its own page numbering. – jartymcfly Dec 05 '17 at 10:56
