Publisher and industry reviews
Jacket review
"* 'Umberto Eco has written a novel - his first - and it has become a literary event' - New York Times Book Review * 'A novel of stunning intelligence, inguistic richness, thematic complexity' - Il Giorno * 'This novel belongs with Voltaire' philosophical tales - in the entertaining guise of an erudite fiction story, it is also a vibrant plea for freedom, moderation and wisdom' - L'Express"
