My Century - Tapa blanda

"This is a man we can trust to lead us across the precipice of knowing with charm, sound judgment and a knowledge of where to stop before our intoxicated intellect deceives us once again.-San Francisco Chronicle "Eco's ability to balance technical subject matter with broadly intelligible anecdotes and illustrations should make it valuable and pleasurable for anyone seeking a gallant introduction to the philosophy of language."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A collection of one hundred inter-linked stories celebrating the twentieth century, by Germany's most eminent contemporary writer. As the sequence of stories unfolds, a lively and rich picture emerges, an historical portrait of our century in all its grandeur and in all its horror.
