How to Write a Thesis (Eco Umberto)(Paperback)

The wise and witty guide to researching and writing a thesis, by the bestselling author of The Name of the Rose--now published in English for the first time.

Learn the art of the thesis from a giant of Italian literature and philosophy--from choosing a topic to organizing a work schedule to writing the final draft. By the time Umberto Eco published his best-selling novel The Name of the Rose, he was one of Italy's most celebrated intellectuals, a distinguished academic, and the author of influential works on semiotics. Some years before that, Eco published a little book for his students, in which he offered useful advice on all the steps involved in researching and writing a thesis. Since then, it has been translated into 17 languages--and is now for the first time presented in English. Eco's approach is anything but dry and academic.
