Rezension zu „Inventing the Enemy “
"For the sheer depth and clarity of his learning and wisdom, Eco has no living rival" Harpers Baazar "[A] philosophical football match that encompasses myth, literature and history... Discursive, grandiose, witty stuff from the quintessential savvy professor" Monocle "Eco's greatest virtue might be said to lie in his ability to clarify the exact nature of our present perplexities...lucid, logical and always firmly on the side of civilisation" TLS "Eco's writing has a unique ability to dance on the page and to resonate in the mind" Daily Telegraph "Thought provoking. nuanced, accessible prose. the collection amply shows off Eco's sophisticated, agile mind and will undoubtedly bring pleasure to readers familiar with his worlds while enriching those willing to learn about them" Publisher's Weekly
