Now in paperback, Umberto Eco’s groundbreaking and much-acclaimed first illustrated book has been a critical success since its first publication in 2004. What is beauty? Umberto Eco, among Italy’s finest and most important contemporary thinkers, explores the nature, the meaning, and the very history of the idea of beauty in Western culture. The profound and subtle text is lavishly illustrated with abundant examples of sublime painting and sculpture and lengthy quotations from writers and philosophers. This is the first paperback edition of History of Beauty , making this intellectual and philosophical journey with one of the world’s most acclaimed thinkers available in a more compact and affordable format.
It is a dictionary of beauty rather than history of beauty. There are beautiful images and informative quotes which can be used as references. It is still worth reading.

Eco is without doubt one of the most knowledgeable persons on planet.

Eco果然是學者而非文豪。編輯工作做得很到位,引用的文史資料都隨附在側。但是從古羅馬至文藝復興,以及啟蒙運動至現代,有明顯內容斷層。

神级人物就是一句不经意的话可以点破你长久困惑的问题,哪怕不是在他的学术专著里……

这本书放在list里多年,终于读完了英文版,作者不逝不读书哎。艾柯真是旁证博引的大师,不要以为他舞文弄墨、掉书袋、炫技,是真的储备量太大,一出口就不小心引经据典。
