Umberto Eco

Serendipities: Language and Lunacy

Unlocking the riddles of history, Eco explores the "linguistics of the lunatic", stories told by scholars, scientists, poets, fanatics, and ordinary people in order to make sense of the world. The bewildering anecdotes and scholarly rigor entertain readers with a passion for the curious history of languages.
