O fascismo eterno by Umberto Eco

notaturnip's review against another edition

This sat printed out, ready to read, for about two years. It has only become more relevant. It's an essay, not a whole book. Read it.

Três textos interessantes, aparentemente discursos proferidos por Eco em ocasiões distintas mas que nesta edição não faz questão de mencionar e referir o seu contexto original.
Algumas das preocupações de Eco estão aqui espelhadas também: o acesso ao conhecimento, triagem do que é importante, como navegar no dilúvio de informação.
O título desta edição é sensacionalista, a capa atrai, mas o livro não é um manual de detecção de fascistas, apenas três textos proferidos em ocasiões distintas que podem ser coligidos por terem ligações ténues. Mas vale a pena ler.
4 estrelas conteúdo, 2 estrelas edição

Really weird. Starts off well and poignantly, characterising fascism fairly explicitly. Continues to a slightly meandering and off-topic discussion of noise and media over-saturation as a form of political control (which has its gems but at one point he complains about people with iPods and having TVs at restaurants - what??), then ends on a discussion of the European cultural identity which felt like it was saying absolutely nothing. This is the first Eco I've read, so I won't judge the guy at pointblank on a 50-page essay, but I can't say I loved it.

Also, what the fuck was that about Romanians?
