A Theory of Semiotics by Umberto Eco

. . . the greatest contribution to semiotics] since the pioneering work of C. S. Peirce and Charles Morris. --Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

. . . draws on philosophy, linguistics, sociology, anthropology and aesthetics and refers to a wide range of scholarship . . . raises many fascinating questions. --Language in Society

. . . a major contribution to the field of semiotic studies. --Robert Scholes, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

. . . the most significant text on the subject published in the English language that I know of. --Arthur Asa Berger, Journal of Communication

Eco's treatment demonstrates his mastery of the field of semiotics. It focuses on the twin problems of the doctrine of signs--communication and signification--and offers a highly original theory of sign production, including a carefully wrought typology of signs and modes of production.

Hace mas de treinta anos hizo su entrada triunfal en el mundo de la ficcion con El nombre de la rosa, una novela que lo convirtio en un autor apreciado no solo por la critica, sino tambien por el gran publico. A este primer exito siguieron El pendulo de Foucault, La isla del dia de antes, Baudolino, La misteriosa llama de la reina Loana, El cementerio de Praga y Numero Cero.

De la estupidez a la locura es la obra postuma de Umberto Eco, que el autor entrego a imprenta pocos dias antes de morir, el 19 de febrero de 2016.
