The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
- Eco wrote prolifically throughout his life, with his output including children's books, translations from French and English, in addition to a twice-monthly newspaper column "La Bustina di Minerva" in the magazine L'Espresso beginning in 1985, with his last column appearing 27 January 2016.
- At the time of his death, he was an Emeritus professor at the University of Bologna, where he taught for much of his life.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Umberto Eco article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
