Author Description

Ultimate list A new book, The Ultimate List, by Umberto Echo, the author of the novel The Name of the Rose and one of the most influential intellectuals of this era, was published. The book presents a list of the most bizarre and unbelievable list of human cultural history, giving a glimpse into the worldview of that era. Echo explores the grand history of mankinds inventory from ancient times to the present. The list includes practical things such as adults, military classes, descriptions of grotesque creatures, medicinal plants, etc., but it is simply for the sake of its own greatness. Following this grand list We can see that this list has existed throughout human history. In ancient, medieval, and modern worlds, human desires are cleverly hidden in lists in different forms. Echo points out that when faced with uncertain and unclear phenomena, infinite lists appear in cultures in which one is convinced of his identity. And each of these lists can be found throughout art history and literature history. A terrible bookworm, Umberto Echo extends his intellectual tentacles from ancient animal fables to Andy Warhol and Damian Hearst in the 20th century. b "My favorite list is the phone book!" b Echo said in an interview, "If I go to a remote island, I will take my phone book with me." The answer was that the names in the telephone book list could create an infinite combination of infinite stories. The ultimate list of humanity, which he traced to such a list of attachments, is a list of praises for the gods, an object of accumulation to fill museums, galleries, and galleries, and appears in the form of goods on the shelves of department stores. If there is a lot in common with this list, it is an endless list of endless attributes, a desire for infiniteness that can be tasted by a finite being, and an attempt to expand the imagination to infinity. There is.
