How to Travel with Salmon

"I firmly believe that writing parody is not only legitimate, but fundamentally my sacred duty."

A hilarious and atypical guide to modern life

Italian literal translation includes new chapters

The most famous work among the literary sketches of the Italian encyclopedic writer Umberto Eco

How to Travel with Salmon is a hilariously atypical guide to how to take meaningful vacations, travel with salmon, avoid talking about football, ride trains in America, talk about animals, and even, How to become a Knight of Malta... Playful, provocative, humorous, an incredible combination of the profound and the mundane. With his urchin-like wit and genius-like cynicism, Eco answers questions we have never thought about, and questions the answers we are accustomed to. Football, pornography and coffee pots all seem to be "brainless". The topic of "has become both interesting and profound in his writing, leading us to explore the absurdity of modern life.
