The History of Ugliness

The History of Ugliness

Summary:

This book is a continuation of The History of Beauty. After all, beauty and ugliness are concepts that signify each other. We express ugliness as the opposite of beauty. Therefore, to understand the nature of one, we must define the other. However, the many manifestations of ugliness spanning centuries are, contrary to popular belief, quite rich and surprising. The History of Ugliness presents these examples to us. And it does so through the hand of a masterful writer who wields his pen wisely… “Ideas deeply felt and passionately defended… Eco’s writing has a unique ability to dance on the page and vibrate in the mind.” Daily Telegraph “Given the clarity and absolute depth of his intelligence and wisdom, Eco has no rival today.” Harper & Queen “Eco is one of the most influential thinkers of our time.”
