No, definitely was not an easy read. Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language by Umberto Eco is a collection of essays full of concepts that, if the specialist to be hard, are likely to arise completely impervious to those approaching from beginner to philosophical studies.
S and it is true that "n on you really understand something until you are able to explain to your grandmother," I must admit that I have difficulties to talk about these essays, even to a reader more My grandmother warned. End a page to see the need to resume reading from the first row was not an uncommon experience, but reap the benefits of this scan slow, bumpy and "forcibly" meditated, I was amply rewarded.
Having to find the section that best met my taste of the player (probably because it is less farfetched than my limited skills), go for the pages dedicated to symbol, metaphor, allegory . Pages that for those who have the interest of entering in their reading, have, among other things, an interesting analysis of a sonnet by Cavalier Marino.
The title of this post, however, is justified by the perennial relevance of a citation that the author draws from Rhetoric of Aristotle and that, as always in these cases, confirmation of the immortality of a thought through the ages, an instrument reading, so even for our time:

Just to the pirates, it seems, find a genre in which their species agreements and handle a tree of Porphyry reliable: it is 'real' that they carry merchandise by sea, such as caterers. What is 'derealizzante' (or ideological) and select the one among all the properties that characterize them and through this choice be recognized. "
