Umberto Eco approaches the topic of the formation of Europe in a manner that is unique to him. The world-famous specialist in semiotics and information theory addresses the key problem of mutual understanding between the inhabitants of Europe. Is a universal language needed for this? And if so, which one?

Eco examines the long and fascinating history of the searches that have been undertaken in this direction over the centuries: from the proto-language of Adam and the Babylonian confusion of dialects, through Kabbalistic research and the "Great Art" of Raimundo Lully, magical and philosophical languages - to the "natural" projects of the 19th-20th centuries, including the famous Esperanto.
