The anthology contains a selection of essays taken from two Italian books by Eco: "Il costume di casa" (first published in 1973) and "Sette anni di desiderio" (1983).  It was translated into English in 1986 as "Faith in Fakes" and later updated as "Travels in Hyperreality" in 1995.

Opera Soft: Opera Soft was one of the most prolific Spanish computer game developers of the Golden Era of Spanish Software of the 1980s.  It released many games for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and similar computers in the mid-1980s, but its games were not as popular on the PC.  Founded in 1986, the company obtained success with its title "Livingstone, supongo" ("Livingstone, I Presume"), based on the famous 19th-century explorer Dr. Livingstone.  Nevertheless, their most important title is probably "La Abadía del Crimen" ("The Abbey of Crime"), based on Umberto Eco's best-seller "The Name of the Rose".
