Content introduction:
Infinite List is the latest heavyweight work of aesthetic research by umberto Eco, a learned master, after The History of Beauty and The History of Ugliness. Eco was invited by the Louvre to plan a series of exhibitions and other activities, and completed this illustrated monograph on "List". This book discusses the significance and function of "practical list", "poetic list" and "practical and poetic list" in the fields of art, literature, music and architecture. Eco will lead us to appreciate those lists that are often ignored or even disgusted when reading texts or watching pictures-limited lists and infinite lists; Name list, image list, place name list and attribute list; Confusion list, vertigo list, abnormal list ... Find the essence of the list.
I like lists, just as some people like football or pedophilia, everyone has his own hobbies. List is the root of culture and an indispensable part of art history and literature history. The list is not to destroy culture, but to create culture. Wherever you look at cultural history, you will find a list.
-umberto Eco, from an interview with German Mirror.
◆ Apotheker is probably the most widely read person in the whole western world today. In recent years, he has repeatedly concocted three volumes of famous works of conceptual history with pictures and texts. The first two books discuss beauty and ugliness respectively. Although I admire his breadth, I haven't read anything new. Only this book, infinite list, opened my eyes. It is still rich in material to compile paragraphs you have heard and unheard of, pictures and photos you have seen and never seen, but this time he obviously made great efforts, because he has to deal with the most personal problems that every book lover will encounter.
