Synopsis
"A scintillating collection of writings by one of the most influential thinkers of our times." -- Los Angeles Times With the same wit, learning, and lively intelligence that delighted readers of The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum , Umberto Eco entertains and intrigues once again, this time on subjects ranging from pop culture to philosophy, from the People's Temple to Thomas Aquinas, from Casablanca to Roland Barthes. Acute, ironic, and often very funny, these timeless essays open up fresh worlds of possibility and new frameworks of existence. A classic work. "Eco combines scholarship with a love of paradox and a quirky, sometimes outrageous, sense of humor." -- The Atlantic " Amusing and often brilliant." --John Updike, The New Yorker, Eco displays in these essays the same wit, learning, and lively intelligence that delighted readers of The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum. His range is wide, and his insights are acute, frequently ironic, and often downright funny. Translated by William Weaver.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (20,927)
- e***l (877)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook is in excellent condition. It did arrive a week and a half later than it was originally supposed to. I reached out to the seller which took a bit of time to receive a response. The book was a good value and it did ship in a bubble envelope which always helps with protecting the books from postal handling/damage.
- d***a (53)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping took a little longer than it initially said but the book still arrived just as described in fantastic condition. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging though, as it was just wrapped in a simple thin plastic sleeve with zero cushion or padding and I've had books completely destroyed because there was nothing to protect them so if possible I'd like to see the seller provide a safer package when shipping books. But thankfully mine wasn't damaged in transit!STATION HILL BLANCHOT READER, Blanchot, Maurice, 9781886449176 (#197410139171)
- 2***s (227)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem as described. I would suggest better packaging. It was in a plastic mailer without cushioning. By the time it arrived, there were holes and able to see the book inside. Luckily it did not rain, otherwise it would have been ruined.
