"Impishly witty and ingeniously irreverent" essays on topics from cell phones to librarians, by the author of
The Name of the Rose and
Foucault's Pendulum (
The Atlantic Monthly).
A cosmopolitan curmudgeon the
Los Angeles Times called "the Andy Rooney of academia"-known for both nonfiction and novels that have become blockbuster
New York Times bestsellers-Umberto Eco takes readers on "a delightful romp through the absurdities of modern life" (
Publishers Weekly) as he journeys around the world and into his own wildly adventurous mind.
From the mundane details of getting around on Amtrak or in the back of a cab, to reflections on computer jargon and soccer fans, to more important issues like the effects of mass media and consumer civilization-not to mention the challenges of trying to refrigerate an expensive piece of fish at an English hotel-this renowned writer, semiotician, and philosopher provides "an uncanny combination of the profound and the profane" (
San Francisco Chronicle).
"Eco entertains with his clever reflections and with his unique persona." -

Translated from the Italian by William Weaver
