World-renowned Italian literary critic, novelist, semiotician Umberto Eco will come to Bulgaria on November 27.

Eco will take part in an international conference of the European philosophers called "Sofia Dialogues."

Eco's literary career started in the late 1950s, when he was a columnist for Il Verri, writing 'Diario minimo' (1959-61).

He was cofounder of Marcatrй (1961) and Quindici (1967), edited Versus from 1971, and was a member of the editorial board of Semiotica, Degrйs, Text, Structuralist Review, Communication, Problemi dell'Informazione, and Alfabeta.

Eco has contributed regularly to daily newspapers (Corriere della Sera), weekly magazines (L'Espresso), and artistic and intellectual periodicals (Quindici, Il Verri, et al.). Eco has written from the 1970s for quite separate audiences - general readers on the one hand, and academic specialists on the other.
