{"product_id":"umberto-eco-and-the-open-peter-bondanella-9780521020879","title":"Umberto Eco and the Open Text: Semiotics, Fiction, Popular Culture","description":"Umberto Eco is known among academics for his literary and cultural theories, and to an enormous international audience through his novels The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum. Peter Bondanella offers the first comprehensive study in English of Eco's works. In clear and accessible language, he traces the development of Eco's interests, from medieval aesthetics to semiotics to popular culture, and shows how Eco's own fiction grows out of his literary and cultural theories. Bondanella also provides a full bibliography of works by and about Eco, arguably the most famous Italian writer since Dante.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Bondanella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521020875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521020879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.54d","brand":"Peter Bondanella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443500691711,"sku":"9780521020879","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4d533d5-5ba1-457e-9f6f-0cac4d2989dd.jpg?v=1777205908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/umberto-eco-and-the-open-peter-bondanella-9780521020879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
