About the author

Umberto Eco

949 books12k followers
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 similar themes.

Eco wrote prolifically throughout his life, with his output including children's books, translations from French and English, in addition to a twice-monthly newspaper column "La Bustina di Minerva" (Minerva's Matchbook) in the magazine L'Espresso beginning in 1985, with his last column (a critical appraisal of the Romantic paintings of Francesco Hayez) appearing 27 January 2016. At the time of his death, he was an Emeritus professor at the University of Bologna, where he taught for much of his life. In the 21st century, he has continued to gain recognition for his 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism", where Eco lists fourteen general properties he believes comprise fascist ideologies.

Mimari alanında ilgim ve bilgim olmadığı için bazı alanlarda sıkıntı çekmiş olsam da öğreticiydi. Özellikle ortaçağ şehirleri ile ilgili kısım çok verimliydi.

Nå, detta gör jag inte om. I oktober bestämde jag mig för att försöka läsa en italiensk historiebok. Det var en fantastisk historiebok. Upplevelsen av att sitta med google translate och översätta rad för rad den första tredjedelen; hjälpligt staka mig fram genom vad jag lärt mig + skolfranska i den andra; och klara av den tredje tredjedelen endast eftersom den i princip handlade om kyrkokonst var ... säkert bra för att lära mig ödmjukhet.

Jag är glad över att ha läst den. Antalogier av denna karaktär, lärda och skrivna av skickliga akademiker för en ickeprofessionell publik, saknas i för stor utsträckning i norden. I denna bok skriver folk om det som intresserat dem, varesig det är byzantinsk kyrkokonst, sicilianska äventyrare eller relationen mellan kejsare och de italienska småstaterna. Den enda begränsningen verkar ha varit temat "katedral, riddare, stad". Jag rekommenderar den varmt. Men kanske mer för de som inte behöver slå upp var tredje ord.
