È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

Durante muito tempo, acreditou-se que o ciúme era sinal de amor, mesmo se fosse doentio. Tanto quem era acometido por esse sentimento, como seu alvo, sofriam em demasia. Se uma relação não tivesse boas doses de ciúme, acreditava-se que isso se devia à falta de envolvimento de um dos parceiros. Porém, a nossa sociedade mudou, e com o tempo percebemos que o ciúme não é o "tempero das relações", mas sim um sinal de que algo está faltando dentro de nós: algo que nos complete e nos permita ser feliz sem a presença de outra pessoa.
