SUMMARY
"A few purple passages aside, Eco focuses on complete coverage rather than imaginative recreation. Thus, while the text is readable, even intriguing in places, the general reader purusing this volume should anticipate some tough going. The Tower of Babel; Leibniz's 'passion for universal peace'; the 20th century project of Esperanto: Eco has intriguing subject matter to work with here. But some of the material is so leaden even Eco's magical wit can't turn it all to gold."Eco, Umberto is the author of 'Search for the Perfect Language', published 1997 under ISBN 9780631205104 and ISBN 0631205101.
