Construire l'ennemi... et autres écrits occasionnels

Résumé

Inventing the Enemy covers a wide range of topics on which Umberto Eco has written and lectured over the last ten years. From a disquisition on the theme that runs through his recent novel, The Prague Cemetery—every country needs an enemy, and if it doesn't have one, must invent it; to the discussion of ideas that have inspired his earlier novels (and in the process he takes us on an exploration of lost islands, mythical realms, and medieval world).
