The illustrated novel is a seductive new form of modern literature for the reader, but Umberto Eco actually "reinvents" old favorite books. The books of childhood are always full of pictures, and these pictures light up a child's imagination with a magical flame. This is exactly what the hero, the bookseller Giambattista Bodoni from Milan, needs to return to his own self after a serious illness and loss of memory. Magazines, comic books, class essays, speeches, advertisements, records, radio programs. In the attic, like a fairy-tale cave, the hero rediscovers well-forgotten, vital sensations. Reminding the hero of his experiences, full of meaningful smells and sounds are revived from the magic of dusty pages. An old school notebook tells Giambattista about his old love and his young heroism. Picking himself up bit by bit like a detective sleuth, Bodoni regains his self-awareness and returns from the imaginary and restored world to the real one. For how long? He has a new journey ahead of him - the celebrated Italian novelist invites the reader into another clever phantasmagoria.
