Six Walks in the Fictional Woods· ★FIRST EDITION★· 1998 6th Printing· The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures c1993· ISBN 978674810518· Six Walks in the Fictional Woods by Umberto Eco. It is a non-fiction book that was originally delivered at Harvard for the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures in 1992 and 1993. The six lectures were published in the fall of 1994. The book derives its title from Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium, but Eco also cites Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler as inspiration because the novel “is concerned with the presence of the reader in the story”, which was also the subject of the lectures and book. Furthermore, it is based on René Descartes’ metaphorical representation of a text as a forest where his readers wander, however, without Descartes’ hylophobia (fear of forests). In six chapters titled “Entering the Woods”, “The Woods of Loisy”, “Lingering in the Woods”, “Possible Woods”, “The Strange Case of Rue Servandon”, and “Fictional Protocols”, Eco contemplates on storytelling, the process of creation of a literary text, and how readers understand them1.· No Previous owners' name, inscriptions, bookplates, or dates inside. · · Inside Condition· Both Appears unread. · Spine is tight and unbroken.· Pages are clean and appear unmarked/ no torn or missing pages.· NOTE: Please be sure to view the photos - as these contribute a large part to the description / condition. · This book would be a great addition to your personal library! · Great for Teachers, parents, tutors, homeschoolers, and students!· Great for collectors & researchers!· Like New: May be aged but book shows little if any visible wear / Fine · Payment:· PayPal (Verified Account and Confirmed Address only)· Please make inquiries or requests prior to bidding.· We ship most items in 1-2 days USPS · We ship videos, DVDs, Books, and Records/ CDs at Media Mail rate · The only way I will ship out of the United States is by using the Global Shipping Program through EBAY.· * I DO NOT combine shipping for Global Shipping Program items.· Returns are accepted if item is different than shown or stated. · All attempts are made to describe and photograph items as accurately as possible. · I want you to be satisfied with your purchase. · If there is a problem with your purchase please allow us the chance to resolve to earn your highest feedback ratings.· It is my Policy to Leave Positive Feedback for my Buyers as soon as I receive payment.· Buy with CONFIDENCE from a TRUSTED seller!!!
