Narration During Books The Name of the Rose

The year is 1327. Benedictines in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where “the most interesting things happen at night.”

Notice Epithetical Books The Name of the Rose

This was one of the biggest novels in the 80s. I remember the book very well. A crime story set in a monastery with much Latin and Greek and some dubious monks trying to solve some murder cases. The denouement was brilliant. The whole story was absolutely outstanding (the lost book on comedy) and extremely sophisticated. So much wisdom and philosophy in one novel. It's very seldom that you come across a book like that. There is also a famous movie with Jean Connery as William of Baskerville but

The Name of the Rose is a horribly pretentious, pedantic, verbose novel. And it stinks too!Under the guise of a medieval mystery Umberto Eco has written a diatribe on philosophical ideas (and not presented all of them accurately) in order to impress upon the reader how very smart he is indeed. Characterization, moments of human reality & truth, and most importantly accessibility to the reader are clearly repulsive ideas to Mr. Eco.I can sum up the book, which takes place at a monastery in

Truth illusoryUmberto Ecos The Name of the Rose can rightly be called the literary equivalent of a shrewd smuggling operation. Surreptitiously sailing under the banner of what seems at first glance to be a traditional and thus holding the promise of mass appeal - detective story, the recently deceased Italian semiotician clearly is reaching for a far more rich tapestry of genres some tropes of which maintained, others slightly subverted - and themes. In fact, he himself admitted as such, on

The first time I read this was many years ago and I was so impressed I bought the book. Recently, having watched the series on Showtime, I decided it was time for a reread to see how faithful the series' writers were to the original. The series was very good with a great cast and setting and costumes. The dialogue was taken directly from the book as well, so it was pretty darn close to the original. They did introduce a new character in the series, the revenge filled daughter of Dolcini and

Eco's writing is so infectious, lively, and likeable that I thought it appropriate to pen my review in his style.1. In which I, as reader, feel used.Yes, I'm almost certain Eco wrote this thing for the sole purpose of informing us of how knowledgeable he is of the finer points of monastic orders, book trivia, and medieval philosophy. Knowing most would not put up with this crap for 500 pages, he wisely chose to interrupt his many digressions on poverty, heretics, whether or not Jesus laughed,



I had wanted to read The Name of the Rose for a long time, mostly because I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction about the Middle Ages, and also because of its importance as a piece of modern Italian literature. Although I liked it for the most part, I have to admit that it disappointed me in many ways. As a mystery novel, I was expecting it to be a fast-paced page-turner, whereas in reality The Name of the Rose is very slow and ponderous. I appreciate the attention to detail and the minute and
