Confirms Eco as an outstanding writer of philosophy dressed as fiction
Stephanie Merrit, Observer
As always with Eco, there is much to admire
Sunday Times
A beautiful evocation of a difficult period of Italian history, full of the flair and erudition for which we love Eco
Metro
Genuinely clever...the writing, the quotes and the pictures often tickle the brain
Irish Independent
Witty, playful, and incorrigibly erudite, Eco clearly had fun writing this book. There is much to enjoy
Daily Mail
Another great exhilaration from Eco. Eye-poppingly fascinating
Guardian
Perhaps the most intellectual novelist in Europe today. A highly idiosyncratic by engrossing novel
Herald
Profound and moving. A wonderful entertainer
Scotsman
Engaging
Sunday Times
The opening is delightful, the sort of stuff that has readers rubbing their hands in anticipation...it is good to see Eco recapture something of his former glories, bouncing ideas of his readers with characteristic zest
Sunday Telegraph
Stimulating
