Review
– But that was the question, the fundamental question of everything!
– This is not question! Only when you know the question will you understand the answer.
——Douglas Adams, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”

Description
Numeralia explains why Dante speaks of 515 and Guareschi about 23; it tells us how the 99 Exercises in Style of Queneau and The Arabian Nights are two sides of the same coin. It speaks about the Answer with a capital A and pop songs, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and the Bassotti Gang, about enormous numbers like a googol and tiny ones like zero, which in this big family is the slightly mad uncle.
