Un manual de uso para los pequeños desafíos cotidianos, según «el escritor que cambió la cultura» -Corriere della Sera«El más versátil de los intelectuales italianos combina la cultura de un gran erudito con la ligereza y la ironía. Esta compilación inédita a manos del autor ofrece lo mejor de su estilo divulgativo.» -La Repubblica
Cómo viajar con un salmón es un manual de instrucciones sui géneris a cargo de un maestro excepcional: Umberto Eco. Cómo sobrevivir a la burocracia, evitar enfermedades contagiosas, no usar el teléfono móvil, salir en la televisión, aunque no seamos nadie, no hablar de fútbol, comer un helado o evitar caer en los complots son algunas de las muchas situaciones de nuestro día a día en las que el autor nos guía con su característico sentido del humor. Preparada por él mismo, esta selección de artículos, que incluye los que se publicaron en Segundo diario mínimo y otros inéditos y se ha convertido en Italia en un fenómeno de ventas, nos anima a tomar conciencia de que la vida sucede en las pequeñas cosas, los encuentros azarosos y los problemas menores, y no en los dilemas dialécticos o los grandes interrogantes sobre la existencia que ocupan una ínfima porción de nuestro tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A user manual for small, everyday challenges, according to "the writer who changed culture" -Corriere della Sera
"The most versatile of Italian intellectuals takes the philosophy of a great scholar and combines it with lightness and irony. This unpublished compilation by the author offers the best of his informative style." -La Repubblica How to Travel with a Salmon is an instruction manual sui generis by an exceptional teacher: Umberto Eco. How to survive bureaucracy, avoid contagious diseases, not use a cell phone, appear on television, even if we are nobody, avoid talking about soccer, eat ice cream, or avoid falling for scams are some of the many situations in our daily lives in which the author guides us with his characteristic sense of humor. Prepared by himself, this selection of articles, which includes those published in the Second Minimal Journal and other unpublished articles and has become a sales phenomenon in Italy, encourages us to become aware that life is in the details, random encounters, and minor problems, and not in dialectical dilemmas or the great questions about existence that occupy a tiny portion of our time.

italian invasion of ethiopia
Format: Kindle
This book was fascinating. I had never heard about this invasion before and it was interesting to learn about this part of African history. As always, these books by Captivating History are enlightening and enjoyable.

...awkward book to rate...
Format: Kindle
This is an awkward book to rate as: the facts all seem to be there, hut the presentation is a touch below par for a 'Captivating History' book.
There is a light garnish of literary and grammatical errors, a dose of waffle here and there, the chronology can jump back and forth and - I may have been distracted, but: I do not recall reading about what ultimately happened to Haile Selassie
Most of the final, extended, chapter just repeats what has previously been covered.
STILL - it's a most interesting period in history.

A not often studied part of African history
Format: Kindle
This book presents the history of Ethiopia up to the Italian invasion as a backdrop giving the culture and the nature of the Ethiopian Empire. Ethiopia has a history of more than 3,000 years and converted to Christianity about the same time that the Roman Empire did. During the medieval period remained strong in Christianity and traded with the East as well as with medieval Europe. It was one of the most advanced countries in the world at that time. When Italy started trying to build up an empire and catch up because of its lag behind the rest of Europe in Empire building, Ethiopia was one of the last parts of Africa that was not yet a colony of a European power. Italy and made a failed attempt at conquering Ethiopia but when Mussolini took power in Italy he decided to rebuild the grandeur of Roman Empire. This book takes you through the war with Italy and tells it from the Ethiopian side as well as presenting some of the concepts of the Italian side as well. Hey you will also become acquainted with the major players on both sides of the Italian Ethiopian war. It is well researched and it describes the war, the struggle that both the Ethiopians and the Italians had during the war and the final conclusion and how the war ended. The book has been well researched and is very interesting. I found this to be an excellent book to explain the war in North Africa as well as the struggle for independence of the Ethiopians. This is a book that I would like to have had when I was teaching world history. I highly recommend this book and feel that it is a great addition to anyone's library.
