Chronicles of a Liquid Society Zusammenfassung

Chronicles of a Liquid Society Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco was an international cultural superstar. A celebrated essayist as well as novelist, in this, his last collection, he explores many aspects of the modern world with irrepressible curiosity and wisdom.

A crisis in ideological values, a crisis in politics, unbridled individualism the familiar backdrop to our lives: a liquid society where its not easy to find a polestar, though stars and starlets are not lacking.

In these pieces, written by Eco as articles for his regular column in lEspresso magazine, he brings his dazzling erudition and keen sense of the everyday to bear on topics such as popular culture and politics, being seen, conspiracies, the old and the young, mobile phones, mass media, racism, good manners and the crisis in ideological values. It is a final gift to his readers astute, witty and illuminating.

Chronicles of a Liquid Society Bewertungen

There are people youve never met and yet you miss them when they are gone Ecos famously ironic voice is penetrating The issues Eco addresses are so enormous in their scale they seem insurmountable, yet his measured, erudite commentary assures you that they can be understood and therefore resolved * Financial Times *
He brilliantly exposes all that is absurd and paradoxical in contemporary behaviour. Ecos irony is disarming, his cleverness dazzling -- Tim Parks * Guardian *
A swan song from one of Europe's great intellectuals...Eco entertains with his intellect, humor, and insatiable curiosity...there's much here to enjoy and ponder * Kirkus Reviews *
Eco has left us an intelligent, intriguing, and often hilariously incisive set of observations on contemporary follies and changing mores. * Publisher's Weekly *
Illuminating, entertaining and humane. -- Emily Beament * UK Press Syndication *
