Paperback. Condición: Good.  A collection of "impishly witty and ingeniously irreverent" (The Atlantic) how-to essays that highlight the absurdities of modern life, from the author of The Name of the Rose How to Travel With a Salmon is a highly engaging collection of what Umberto Eco calls his diario minimo--minimal diaries--after the magazine column in which he began "pursuing the pathways of parody." These essays are his playful but unfailingly accurate takes on militarism, computer jargon, Westerns, art criticism, librarians, bureaucrats, meals on airplanes, Amtrak trains, bad coffee, maniacal taxi drivers, express mail, multi-function watches, fax machines and cell phones, pornography, soccer fans, academia, and--last but definitely not least--the author's own self. "Very funny." --The New York Review of Books.…

Trade Paperback. Condición: Near Fine. First Paperback Edition. 248 Pages. Attractive trade paperback with dust jacket like flaps. Umberto Eco on how to avoid contagious diseases: I read recently that according to the revelations of Professor Matre, heterosexual contact is carcinogenic. High time somebody came out and said it. I would go even farther: heterosexual contact causes death, period. Even a fool knows that it ends in procreation, and the more people are born, the more people die. Eco on the frustrations of trying to replace a lost driver's license: All of us know that any ordinary terrorist is able to produce, in a few hours, dozens of fake licenses -- and remember, it takes more time to produce a fake license than a genuine one. Now, if we don't want citizens who have lost their licenses to start frequenting murky taverns of ill fame in the hope of making contact with the Red Brigades, there is just one solution: employ all repentant terrorists in the license office. And that's only the beginning: Eco on gadgets, including the Electric Nose Hair Remover ( an instrument that would have fascinated the Marquis de Sade), Eco on 33-function watches, fax machines and cellular phones, express mail, in-flight meals, Amtrak trains, porn movies and Westerns, computer jargon, bureaucrats. You name it. Umberto Eco, dubbed the Andy Rooney of academia by the Los Angeles Times, is a professor of semiotics at the University of Bologna. He is the author of numerous books, including two other collections of popular essays and three novels: The Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, and, most recently, The Island of the Day Before. He lives in Milan.…
