This is a collection of letters that Mr. Eco wrote to a local Italian newspaper through the years.

An interesting part of the book was reading what went on in the mind of an Italian philosopher in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970. His left-wing sympathies are very clear, and one of the worst thing to happen to a theory would be for it to be declared 'fascist'.

I especially liked the chapters on Thomas of Aquino, which is one of the specialties of Mr. Eco. The chapters on the United States were a little too 'easy' for me, too much stereotypes.
