- Abstract
The article explores the aesthetic and pedagogical merits of Umberto Eco and Eugenio Carmi's collaboration on three children's books, " La bomba e il generale (The Bomb and the General)," "I tre cosmonauti (The Three astronauts)," and "Gli gnomi di Gnù (The Gnomes of Gnù)." The works contained Eco's texts and Carmi's illustrations. The article initiates a critical conversation on the Eco and Carmi collaboration, and the provocative works which it produced.
