«El nombre de la rosa» is the historical mystery novel by Umberto Eco, published in hardback (461 pages, in Spanish).
In 1327, the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his pupil Adso of Melk arrive at a Benedictine abbey in northern Italy for a theological debate. The mysterious deaths lead them to investigate the labyrinthine library, amid the monastery's secrets and the shadow of the Inquisition. The work blends mystery, history, philosophy, and semiotics.
The novel, translated into Spanish by Ricardo Pochtar, was originally published in 1980 under the title «Il nome della rosa».
Recommended for readers of historical and mystery fiction, and for those seeking a contemporary classic of European literature.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. 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.
