Dr Gisela Bruche-Schulz

Six Walks in the Fictional Woods
Author : Umberto Eco. Cambridge,
Publisher : Harvard University Press. Pb (First published 1994)

Serendipities
Author : Umberto Eco.
Publisher : Phoenix Press. Pb (First published 1999)

Comment : Both books are serious, but ironic at the same time. They are about perspective taking in different forms of literature and life , and about "lunacies" in the development of language studies that have led to valid discoveries.
