Cover of Umberto Eco: From the Tree to the Labyrinth (ePUB)

Demonstrating once again his inimitable ability to bridge ancient, medieval, and modern modes of thought, he offers here a brilliant illustration of his longstanding argument that problems of interpretation can be solved only in historical context.
