Rezension zu „On Ugliness “
"Eco is a commentator who makes sense of what so often seems senseless. All the more reason to read him" Time Out "Eco is one of the most influential thinkers of our time" Los Angeles Times "Eco is a highly entertaining and perceptive "decoder" of our world" Times Literary Supplement "For the sheer depth and clarity of his learning and wisdom, Eco has no living rival" Harpers & Queen "Passionately argued and deeply engaged... Eco's writing has a unique ability to dance on the page and to resonate in the mind." Daily Telegraph
