How were Eco's novels born? How many years were needed to build their worlds and write them? And how do they dialogue with each other? How much does the plot count, and how much does the theoretical dimension, which reflects the parallel essayistic writing of the author, matter? Umberto Thomas Stauder, scholar and translator, talks with Umberto Eco about each of his novels. Through seven conversations, conducted between 1989 and 2015, the book therefore retraces all of Eco's narrative, gathering his gaze on his own works: those novels that made him known to the entire world, from "The Name of the Rose" to "Number Zero", passing through "Foucault's Pendulum", "The Island of the Day Before", "Baudolino", "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana", "The Prague Cemetery". During the dialogues, Eco talks about his writing but also, inevitably, about everything that surrounds it: his studies, his travels, his expectations, the reactions of readers, his family memories. A kaleidoscope on Umberto Eco, starting from his novels, to enter the workshop and the mind of a great writer, who in the 70s still said he would never write a novel. “Once you start narrating, then you get the habit. Once you finish a novel, you want to start another one right away.” (Umberto Eco)
