Umberto Eco Quote

We'll have to consult Aglie. I doubt that even he knows all these organizations.Want to bet? They're his daily bread. But we can put him to the test. Let's add a sect that doesn't exist. Founded recently.I recalled the curious question of De Angelis, whether I had ever heard of the Tres. And I said: Tres.What's that? Belbo asked.If it's an acrostic, there has to be a subtext, Diotallevi said. Otherwise my rabbis would not have been able to use the notarikon. Lets see... Templi Resurgentes Equites Synarchici. That suit you?We liked the name, and put it at the bottom of the list.With all these conventicles, inventing one more was no mean trick, Diotallevi said in a sudden fit of vanity.

About Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco (5 January 1932 – 19 February 2016) was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on similar themes.
Eco wrote prolifically throughout his life, with his output including children's books, translations from French and English, in addition to a twice-monthly newspaper column "La Bustina di Minerva" (Minerva's Matchbook) in the magazine L'Espresso beginning in 1985, with his last column (a critical appraisal of the Romantic paintings of Francesco Hayez) appearing 27 January 2016. At the time of his death, he was an Emeritus professor at the University of Bologna, where he taught for much of his life. In the 21st century, he has continued to gain recognition for his 1995 essay "Ur-Fascism", where Eco lists fourteen general properties he believes comprise fascist ideologies.
