Las brillantes clases magistrales que Umberto Eco pronunciaba en la universidad, junto con una que no llegó a pronunciar.

«Somos como enanos que están a hombros de gigantes, de modo que podemos ver más lejos que ellos, no tanto por nuestra estatura o nuestra agudeza visual, sino porque, al estar sobre sus hombros, estamos más altos que ellos.».-Bernardo de Chartres

A hombros de gigantes representa para los lectores de Eco un evento festivo. Lejos de las aulas universitarias, de las conferencias académicas y de las ceremonias de honor Eco escribe estos textos a lo largo de tres lustros, para entretener a los numerosísimos espectadores de la Milanesiana, el festival creado y dirigido por Elisabetta Sgarbi.

Son textos que se inspiran a menudo en el tema central elegido cada año en la Milanesiana, pero que luego recorren ríos de repertorios que beben de la filosofía, la literatura, la estética, la ética y los medios de comunicación para devolvernos, en un lenguaje afable, imbuido de ironía, a veces lúdico o mordaz, la quintaesencia del universo de Eco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Never before published texts by Umberto Eco. These are the Master Classes that Umberto Eco offered at universities, along with one class that he was not able to offer.

On the Shoulders of Giants represents a great festive event for readers of Uberto Eco. Far from university classrooms, academic conferences, and award ceremonies, Eco writes these texts over the course of three decades, to entertain the many spectators of La Milanesiana, a literary festival created and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi.

They are texts that were often inspired by the central theme chosen each year in La Milanesiana festival, but in it, he also delves into many other various themes like: philosophy, literature, aesthetics, ethics, and the media, to offer his readers, through a gregarious language, filled with irony and sarcasm, the quintessence of the Eco universe.

"To fit ten centuries into a single phrase, that is the Eco method. On the Shoulders of Giants is one of the most brilliant and grandiose collection of writings that a university course could ever offer." - Paolo di Paolo, La Repubblica
