UNA MUESTRA DEL ECO MÁS BRILLANTE Y ATEMPORAL

«Allí donde Eco disparaba su inteligencia se hacía la luz.» --Domingo Ródenas, El Periódico de Catalunya

«La obra de Umberto Eco en la que todo cabe. [...] ¿Es posible la erudición divertida, seducir mediante la cita culta? [...] Una divertida y estimulante recopilación.» --Mercedes Monmany, ABC

En su prólogo, Umberto Eco habla de estos ensayos como «textos de ocasión», es decir, escritos que nacieron de un encargo o del puro divertimento. Sin embargo, cuando quien trabaja de ese modo es un gran maestro, cada frase se convierte en un regalo para el lector. Desde la pieza que da título a este libro --«un brillantísimo ensayo, una verdadera y escalofriante antología a través de la Historia, de la injuria al diferente, el extranjero, el indeseable», según Mercedes Monmany (ABC)--, Eco aborda temas en apariencia tan dispares como la recepción del Ulises de Joyce en la Italia de Mussolini y el caso WikiLeaks, y personalidades tan variopintas como Dan Brown, Barack Obama y Angela Merkel, y nos invita a reflexionar sobre el poder del silencio en una sociedad en la que el escándalo es moneda corriente.

Una obra excepcional que constituye el mejor ejemplo de una inteligencia privilegiada puesta al servicio de esos lectores que piden a la vida algo más que titulares de periódico.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A SAMPLE OF THE BRILLIANT AND TIMELESS ECO

«Wherever Eco fired his intelligence, there was light.» --Domingo Ródenas, El Periódico de Catalunya

«Umberto Eco's work in which everything fits. [...] Is it possible to entertain erudition, to seduce by means of the cultured date? [...] A fun and stimulating compilation.» --Mercedes Monmany, ABC

In his prologue, Umberto Eco speaks of these essays as "occasion texts", that is to say, writings that were born from a commission or from pure amusement. However, when the person who works in this way is a great teacher, each sentence becomes a gift for the reader. From the piece that gives title to this book -"a brilliant essay, a true and chilling anthology through history, of the injury to the different, the foreigner, the undesirable," according to Mercedes Monmany (ABC)-Eco addresses issues seemingly as disparate as the reception of Joyce's Ulysses in Mussolini's Italy and the WikiLeaks case, and personalities as diverse as Dan Brown, Barack Obama and Angela Merkel, and invites us to reflect on the power of silence in a society in which scandal is commonplace.

An exceptional work that constitutes the best example of a privileged intelligence put at the service of those readers who ask for something more from life than just newspaper headlines.

Gorgeous, thick, fluffy, neutral scent. PERFECT!!
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
Size and color as described, very soft and cozy. It's made of a thick material and sewn very well. Looks to be able to withstand years of use as a recliner cover for an elderly person. The soft cushiony feeling makes sitting or laying for prolonged periods of time much easier on a body. I'll even get more from the brand for the pets to sleep on.

Very pleased with golden yellow color and sheepskin quality
Color: Golden Yellow, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Golden Yellow, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
For the competitive price of less than $80, I am very pleased with the quality. Thick, soft fur that sheds little to none. I had to stick my nose right in it to be aware of the sheep scent, which I found rather pleasant. Came vacuum packed but fluffed right up with a little shaking. Love the golden yellow. The color of my pics are pretty precise. I needed something to perk up my brown leather furniture and bring out the colors in my wall pictures. This does it! Miss Milly loves it too. Buying another color to further perk up my main bedroom.

Finally!! This is quality!!
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
I’ve ordered three brands claiming to be luxury sheepskin rugs. I’m returning two today. THIS is the one!! So happy, I just ordered three more . I’m returning two from another brand and I won’t mention their name. Side by side there’s no comparison. The back of this rug is stitched around the edges where the other rugs have raw edges. The other rugs felt OK, but not very soft and really full of static. THIS rug feel silky soft and is noticeably longer and more dense. The other brands I ordered were a little over an inch long(fur). THIS rug ‘s fur is approx 3” long and dense. Sooo silky and plush. The only downside -and the company actually sent a guide, explaining it… is there is a slight yellow tinge. The other rugs are flat out yellow. This company explains that bright white would include toxins like formaldehyde and bleaching powder. So I’m fine w that. Just don’t put it against a bright white wall or fireplace. Otherwise it’s not noticeable. I’m sure I’ll be buying even more to put throughout my home. I could not be happier with this!!! They understood the assignment❤️❤️❤️- also- the price. About the same as the lesser rugs that are going back. LOVE. Puppy does too🤣 Ok. I came back to edit my review. Still positive. I apparently ordered ivory not white. I have two white ones coming Sunday so will report back and show color comparison. I was saying that the white isn’t white white and the company does explain what that entails. Other companies selling same color are VERY yellow and this isn’t. Also no strong smell to it. 👍
