Como viajar con un salmon / How to Travel with a Salmon

Umberto Eco

Un manual de uso para los pequenos desafios cotidianos, segun el escritor que cambio la cultura -Corriere della Sera

El mas versatil de los intelectuales italianos combina la cultura de un gran erudito con la ligereza y la ironia. Esta compilacion inedita a manos del autor ofrece lo mejor de su estilo divulgativo. -La Repubblica

Como viajar con un salmon es un manual de instrucciones sui generis a cargo de un maestro excepcional: Umberto Eco. Como sobrevivir a la burocracia, evitar enfermedades contagiosas, no usar el telefono movil, salir en la television, aunque no seamos nadie, no hablar de futbol, comer un helado o evitar caer en los complots son algunas de las muchas situaciones de nuestro dia a dia en las que el autor nos guia con su caracteristico sentido del humor. Preparada por el mismo, esta seleccion de articulos, que incluye los que se publicaron en Segundo diario minimo y otros ineditos y se ha convertido en Italia en un fenomeno de ventas, nos anima a tomar conciencia de que la vida sucede en las pequenas cosas, los encuentros azarosos y los problemas menores, y no en los dilemas dialecticos o los grandes interrogantes sobre la existencia que ocupan una infima porcion de nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A user manual for small, everyday challenges, according to the writer who changed culture -Corriere della Sera

The most versatile of Italian intellectuals takes the philosophy of a great scholar and combines it with lightness and irony. This unpublished compilation by the author offers the best of his informative style. -La Repubblica

How to Travel with a Salmon is an instruction manual sui generis by an exceptional teacher: Umberto Eco. How to survive bureaucracy, avoid contagious diseases, not use a cell phone, appear on television, even if we are nobody, avoid talking about soccer, eat ice cream, or avoid falling for scams are some of the many situations in our daily lives in which the author guides us with his characteristic sense of humor. Prepared by himself, this selection of articles, which includes those published in the Second Minimal Journal and other unpublished articles and has become a sales phenomenon in Italy, encourages us to become aware that life is in the details, random encounters, and minor problems, and not in dialectical dilemmas or the great questions about existence that occupy a tiny portion of our time.
