«A paso de cangrejo» is the anthology of articles and essays by Umberto Eco, published by Debate in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Umberto Eco collects in this volume the articles he published between 2000 and 2006, where he analyzes with irony and erudition international politics, the rise of media populism and the changes in contemporary society. The title plays with the idea that history seems to walk backwards in the new millennium.
Translation by María Pons Irazazábal. Work originally published in Italian in 2006 as «A passo di gambero. Guerre calde e populismo mediatico».
For readers interested in contemporary essays, social criticism and the journalistic work of Umberto Eco.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
