    Original language: Italian

    Umberto Eco (1932-2016) invites us to embark on a journey through his Milanese library of 50,000 volumes and, even more impressively, the library of his mind. Renowned for his novel, The Name of the Rose, Eco is a tremendously prolific, clever, and innovative thinker -- and speaker -- who delves into a wide range of subjects. These include the value of reading popular literature, the origins of fascism, the psychology of conspiracy theorists, the comparison between reading on paper and digitally, the significance of discarding useless memories, the dichotomy of truth and lies, remarkable forgeries, and insightful historical blunders.
