About This Book
A spectacular best seller and now a classic, The Name of the Rose catapulted
Umberto Eco, an Italian professor of semiotics turned novelist, to international
prominence. An erudite murder mystery set in a fourteenth-century monastery, it
is not only a gripping story but also a brilliant exploration of medieval
philosophy, history, theology, and logic.
In 1327, Brother William of Baskerville is sent to investigate a wealthy Italian
abbey whose monks are suspected of heresy. When his mission is overshadowed by
seven bizarre deaths patterned on the book of Revelation, Brother William turns
detective, following the trail of a conspiracy that brings him face-to-face with
the abbeys labyrinthine secrets, the subversive effects of laughter, and the
medieval Inquisition. Caught in a power struggle between the emperor he serves
and the pope who rules the Church, Brother William comes to see that what is at
stake is larger than any mere political dispute–that his investigation is being
blocked by those who fear imagination, curiosity, and the power of ideas.
The Name of the Rose offers the reader not only an ingeniously constructed
mystery—complete with secret symbols and coded manuscripts—but also an
unparalleled portrait of the medieval world on the brink of profound
transformation.
