Summary

Un manual de uso para los pequeños desafíos cotidianos, según «el escritor que cambió la cultura» -Corriere della Sera
 
 «El más versátil de los intelectuales italianos combina la cultura de un gran erudito con la ligereza y la ironía. Esta compilación inédita a manos del autor ofrece lo mejor de su estilo divulgativo.» -La Repubblica
 
Cómo viajar con un salmón es un manual de instrucciones sui géneris a cargo de un maestro excepcional: Umberto Eco. Cómo sobrevivir a la burocracia, evitar enfermedades contagiosas, no usar el teléfono móvil, salir en la televisión, aunque no seamos nadie, no hablar de fútbol, comer un helado o evitar caer en los complots son algunas de las muchas situaciones de nuestro día a día en las que el autor nos guía con su característico sentido del humor. Preparada por él mismo, esta selección de artículos, que incluye los que se publicaron en Segundo diario mínimo y otros inéditos y se ha convertido en Italia en un fenómeno de ventas, nos anima a tomar conciencia de que la vida sucede en las pequeñas cosas, los encuentros azarosos y los problemas menores, y no en los dilemas dialécticos o los grandes interrogantes sobre la existencia que ocupan una ínfima porción de nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A user manual for small, everyday challenges, according to "the writer who changed culture" -Corriere della Sera
 
"The most versatile of Italian intellectuals takes the philosophy of a great scholar and combines it with lightness and irony. This unpublished compilation by the author offers the best of his informative style." -La Repubblica
 
How to Travel with a Salmon is an instruction manual sui generis by an exceptional teacher: Umberto Eco. How to survive bureaucracy, avoid contagious diseases, not use a cell phone, appear on television, even if we are nobody, avoid talking about soccer, eat ice cream, or avoid falling for scams are some of the many situations in our daily lives in which the author guides us with his characteristic sense of humor. Prepared by himself, this selection of articles, which includes those published in the Second Minimal Journal and other unpublished articles and has become a sales phenomenon in Italy, encourages us to become aware that life is in the details, random encounters, and minor problems, and not in dialectical dilemmas or the great questions about existence that occupy a tiny portion of our time.
