Description
One hundred seventy-four selected articles by the great Italian that will amaze you and make you look at modern society—its past, present, and future—completely differently.
“The Curse of Satan” is a collection of the best articles published from 2000 to 2015 in the format of an author’s column that Eco ran in a well-known Milan magazine, L’Espresso. One hundred seventy-four original, witty, and deep texts on a wide range of topics: from Aristotle, medieval literature, and the work of Jules Verne to Twitter, television, and the state of the “liquid society.”
And whatever Eco wrote about, all of his texts are astonishingly up-to-date and have the most direct relation to the present—something the great Italian always reacted to with lightning speed, sharply, with phenomenal skill in extracting the most important things from the flow of time and correctly predicting the future. This is the final work of Umberto Eco, who died in 2016—the material for which he selected himself.
