A commemorative attempt to state that 'they' should never do it again. But who are 'they'? HOW TO SPOT A FASCIST is a selection of three provocative essays about freedom and fascism, censorship and tolerance - including Eco's iconic essay "Ur-Fascism," which lists the fourteen fundamental characteristics of fascism and is based on his personal experiences growing up in the shadow of Mussolini. Umberto Eco remains one of the greatest writers and cultural commentators of the last century. In these important texts, he warns against prejudice and abuses of power, proving to be a wise and insightful guide to our current challenges. If we strive to learn from our collective history and unite in difficult times, we can hope for a peaceful and tolerant future. Freedom and liberation are unstoppable processes. Let this be our motto: 'Do not forget.'

'Piercingly reveals all that is absurd and paradoxical in modern behavior. Eco's irony is revealing, his wit impressive.' - Guardian
