A mix of erudition and humour that ironises about society and the media.
First volume of the series «Diario minimo» by Umberto Eco. The work was originally published in 1963; this edition is from 1992.
For readers of essays and cultural criticism, interested in semiotics and Italian intellectual humour.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
