Somos como enanos que estn a hombros de gigantes, de modo que podemos ver ms lejos que ellos, no tanto por nuestra estatura o nuestra agudeza visual, sino porque, al estar sobre sus hombros, estamos ms altos que ellos..

Las brillantes clases magistrales que Umberto Eco pronunciaba en la universidad, junto con una que no llegó a pronunciar.

«Somos como enanos que están a hombros de gigantes, de modo que podemos ver más lejos que ellos, no tanto por nuestra estatura o nuestra agudeza visual, sino porque, al estar sobre sus hombros, estamos más altos que ellos.».-Bernardo de Chartres

A hombros de gigantes representa para los lectores de Eco un evento festivo. Lejos de las aulas universitarias, de las conferencias académicas y de las ceremonias de honor Eco escribe estos textos a lo largo de tres lustros, para entretener a los numerosísimos espectadores de la Milanesiana, el festival creado y dirigido por Elisabetta Sgarbi.

Son textos que se inspiran a menudo en el tema central elegido cada año en la Milanesiana, pero que luego recorren ríos de repertorios que beben de la filosofía, la literatura, la estética, la ética y los medios de comunicación para devolvernos, en un lenguaje afable, imbuido de ironía, a veces lúdico o mordaz, la quintaesencia del universo de Eco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Never before published texts by Umberto Eco. These are the Master Classes that Umberto Eco offered at universities, along with one class that he was not able to offer.

On the Shoulders of Giants represents a great festive event for readers of Uberto Eco. Far from university classrooms, academic conferences, and award ceremonies, Eco writes these texts over the course of three decades, to entertain the many spectators of La Milanesiana, a literary festival created and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi.

They are texts that were often inspired by the central theme chosen each year in La Milanesiana festival, but in it, he also delves into many other various themes like: philosophy, literature, aesthetics, ethics, and the media, to offer his readers, through a gregarious language, filled with irony and sarcasm, the quintessence of the Eco universe.

"To fit ten centuries into a single phrase, that is the Eco method. On the Shoulders of Giants is one of the most brilliant and grandiose collection of writings that a university course could ever offer." - Paolo di Paolo, La Repubblica

Turkey tendon, vitamin E, low in fat, and high in protein. A great little midday snack 😊
Flavor Name: Braided Stick (Chicken)
My dog really liked these iPaw Turkey Tendon Braided Sticks. Every time I gave her one she went nuts and destroyed it in less than 5 mins. She's 80 pounds and for most medium-large dogs it will be the same, they won't last long at all. But I imagine for much smaller dogs they'd probably be a good 10-15 min chew. They have a very mild and almost non-existent smell, and they texture is quite hard and firm, so I would be hesitant to let a dog with missing teeth have one. They may be a bit difficult to chew. My dog hasn't had any upset stomach or diarrhea issues after eating these, which is always something I can keep an eye out for when feeding her something new. So far so good! They've got turkey tendon and vitamin E which are both super nutritional for dogs, and they're low in fat and high in protein which is another huge plus. Especially if your dog has weight issues. They're pretty small and they don't last long, but that's ok, as long as my girl loves them and enjoys them that's all that matters to me. They make for a great little midday snack, and for only $14 I would absolutely purchase them again.

Chihuahua and Border Collie Approved
Flavor Name: Braided Stick (Chicken)
We got the iPaw Turkey Tendon Braided Sticks for our two senior pooches, and it’s safe to say they are an absolute hit in our household. Both of our dogs seem to genuinely love the flavor and the "chew" of these. They stayed engaged with the treat until the very last bit was gone. While they are hard, they aren't rock-hard. I was easily able to cut them up with scissors for our Chihuahua, who is missing several teeth. He was able to gum them down without any issues, which is a win for a pup with dental challenges. The only reason I’m giving these 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. They are definitely on the expensive side for the amount you get. Since my dogs go through them so quickly, it’s hard to justify keeping these as a "constant" staple in the pantry, but they make for an excellent occasional high-value treat.
