Publisher's Synopsis

¿Qué es la belleza?, ¿cómo nació ese concepto?, ¿cómo ha evolucionado a lo largo de los siglos?

A estas y otras muchas preguntas contesta Umberto Eco con su habitual erudición, pero también en un tono didáctico y ameno, un testimonio de la evolución de la belleza a través de los siglos. La obra va acompañada de extraordinarias ilustraciones que dan luz a las palabras del autor. Un libro de formato especial y una verdadera joya: un texto imprescindible en cualquier biblioteca.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Now in paperback, Umberto Eco's groundbreaking and much-acclaimed first illustrated book has been a critical success since its first publication in 2004. What is beauty? Umberto Eco, among Italy's finest and most important contemporary thinkers, explores the nature, the meaning, and the very history of the idea of beauty in Western culture.

The profound and subtle text is lavishly illustrated with abundant examples of sublime painting and sculpture and lengthy quotations from writers and philosophers. This is the first paperback edition of History of Beauty, making this intellectual and philosophical journey with one of the world's most acclaimed thinkers available in a more compact and affordable format.
