'On Beauty' is neither a history of art, nor a history of aesthetics but Umberto Eco draws on the histories of both these disciplines to define the ideas of beauty that have informed sensibilities from the classical world to modern times.

Tres intelectuales que trabajan en una editorial de Milán establecen contacto con autores interesados en las ciencias ocultas, las sociedades secretas y las conjuras cósmicas. Entre bromas y veras, y mezclando lo profesional con aspectos insólitos de sus vidas, estos hombres urden juntos un plan que dejará de ser un juego para convertirse en pesadilla. Después del éxito internacional de El nombre de la rosa, Umberto Eco quiso continuar explorando el mundo de la novela con esta obra, donde la intriga se une a un apasionante viaje hacia el mundo de los templarios.

From the author of international bestseller The Eight Mountains comes a story of love and community in the wild beauty of the Italian AlpsThe remote alpine village of Fontana Fredda lives by the seasons. These quiet, complex rhythms appeal to Fausto, who has left the city of Milan behind, and with it his relationship. He takes a job as chef in a little restaurant and entrusts himself to new beginnings.Silvia is also seeking change: her sights are on the glaciers where, she has read, climbing a thousand metres towards the sky is equivalent to travelling ten times the same distance to the north. She is in search of her personal North Pole.When Fausto and Silvia meet one night, their story begins: a tender story of love and renewal; of the community that sustains them; and of lives humbled by the implacable strength and beauty of the mountains.As intimate in focus as it is epic in scope, The Lovers is a luminous meditation on our quest to understand our place in one another's lives, and in the magnificence of the world around us.Praise for The Eight Mountains:'Exquisite... A rich, achingly painful story' Annie Proulx'Enchanting' Guardian'Brilliant' New York Times
