About Mirrors and Other Stories. Between Poetry and Prose. Book II

The astonishing erudition and encyclopedic knowledge of the legendary Umberto Eco is known to all who have ever been interested in or engaged with topics related to the realm of the "word," who have read his artistic or scientific texts,... or listened to his lectures. For this collection, Umberto Eco personally selected his best scientific and journalistic articles — from 1972 to 1985.
The author tells the reader about medieval allegorism and modern symbolism, poetic and prosaic signs, Pirandello and Campanile, about "signs, fish, and buttons"… All these materials are united by the author’s original observations, as he traces the creative path of writers from illusion and fantasy to their embodiment in word, sign, and image.
