Umberto Eco (b. 1932) is an outstanding Italian scholar-philosopher, historian-medievalist, semiotician, literary critic, writer, author of the novels "The Name of the Rose" (1980), "Foucault's Pendulum" (1988), "The Island on the Eve" (1995) and "The Prague Cemetery" (2010), well known to Russian readers. The collection "Make an Enemy" is subtitled "texts on occasion", as it includes essays and articles written "on demand" - for thematic journal issues or on the basis of reports at conferences devoted to different fields of knowledge, as well as articles of an acutely polemical nature... Different "occasions" - different topics. Why do people need to create an enemy for themselves? When does a soul appear in human embryos? How does technological progress change the essence and tasks of the diplomatic service? Often these texts are of a humorous or parodic nature, i.e. Eco wrote them to amuse both himself and his readers.
