«El nombre de la rosa» is the historical mystery novel by Umberto Eco, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (627 pages, in Spanish).
In 1327, the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his disciple Adso of Melk investigate a series of deaths in a Benedictine abbey in northern Italy. Amid hidden symbols, forbidden manuscripts and theological disputes, the story combines the detective enigma with medieval reconstruction and a reflection on knowledge, power and faith.
The novel was originally published in 1980 under the title «Il nome della rosa» and received the Strega Prize in 1981.
For lovers of historical fiction and mystery who appreciate meticulous medieval settings and a philosophical backdrop.
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.
