Description

Umberto Eco's thought-provoking essays on freedom and fascism, censorship and tolerance offer a timely warning against prejudice and abuses of power.

In these pertinent pieces, Eco draws on his own personal experiences growing up in the shadow of Mussolini to list the fourteen essential characteristics of fascism, and warns against the dangers of intolerance and the importance of a peaceful and tolerant future.

Written with Eco's characteristic irony and cleverness, these essays remain a wise and insightful guide for our times, reminding us that freedom and liberation are never-ending tasks.
