UNA MUESTRA DEL ECO MÁS BRILLANTE Y ATEMPORAL

«Allí donde Eco disparaba su inteligencia se hacía la luz. --Domingo Ródenas, El Periódico de Catalunya

«La obra de Umberto Eco en la que todo cabe. [...] Es posible la erudición divertida, seducir mediante la cita culta? [...] Una divertida y estimulante recopilación. --Mercedes Monmany, ABC

En su prólogo, Umberto Eco habla de estos ensayos como «textos de ocasión , es decir, escritos que nacieron de un encargo o del puro divertimento. Sin embargo, cuando quien trabaja de ese modo es un gran maestro, cada frase se convierte en un regalo para el lector. Desde la pieza que da título a este libro --«un brillantísimo ensayo, una verdadera y escalofriante antología a través de la Historia, de la injuria al diferente, el extranjero, el indeseable , según Mercedes Monmany (ABC)--, Eco aborda temas en apariencia tan dispares como la recepción del Ulises de Joyce en la Italia de Mussolini y el caso WikiLeaks, y personalidades tan variopintas como Dan Brown, Barack Obama y Angela Merkel, y nos invita a reflexionar sobre el poder del silencio en una sociedad en la que el escándalo es moneda corriente.

Una obra excepcional que constituye el mejor ejemplo de una inteligencia privilegiada puesta al servicio de esos lectores que piden a la vida algo más que titulares de periódico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A SAMPLE OF THE BRILLIANT AND TIMELESS ECO

«Wherever Eco fired his intelligence, there was light. --Domingo Ródenas, El Periódico de Catalunya

«Umberto Eco's work in which everything fits. [...] Is it possible to entertain erudition, to seduce by means of the cultured date? [...] A fun and stimulating compilation. --Mercedes Monmany, ABC

In his prologue, Umberto Eco speaks of these essays as occasion texts, that is to say, writings that were born from a commission or from pure amusement. However, when the person who works in this way is a great teacher, each sentence becomes a gift for the reader. From the piece that gives title to this book -a brilliant essay, a true and chilling anthology through history, of the injury to the different, the foreigner, the undesirable, according to Mercedes Monmany (ABC)-Eco addresses issues seemingly as disparate as the reception of Joyce's Ulysses in Mussolini's Italy and the WikiLeaks case, and personalities as diverse as Dan Brown, Barack Obama and Angela Merkel, and invites us to reflect on the power of silence in a society in which scandal is commonplace.

An exceptional work that constitutes the best example of a privileged intelligence put at the service of those readers who ask for something more from life than just newspaper headlines.
