The Name of the Rose

Umberto Eco (born 5 January 1932) is an Italian medievalist, semiotician, philosopher, literary critic and novelist, best known for his novel The Name of the Rose, an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. His 1988 novel Foucault's Pendulum has been described as a "thinking person's Da Vinci Code". Eco is President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, University of Bologna. He has also written academic texts, children’s books and many essays. Eco was born in the city of Alessandria in the region of Piedmont. His father, Giulio, was an accountant before the government called upon him to serve in three wars. During World War II, Umberto and his mother, Giovanna, moved to a small village in the Piedmontese mountainside. Eco received a Salesian education, and he has made references to the order and its founder in his works and interviews. His family name is supposedly an acronym of ex caelis oblatus (Latin: a gift from the heavens), which was given to his grandfather (a foundling) by a city official. His father was the son of a family with thirteen children, and urged Umberto to become a lawyer, but he entered the University of Turin in order to take up medieval philosophy and literature, writing his thesis on Thomas Aquinas and earning his BA in philosophy in 1954. During this time, Eco left the Roman Catholic Church after a crisis of faith. After this, Eco worked as a cultural editor for the state broadcasting station Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) and also lectured at the University of Turin (1956–64). A group of avant-garde artists—painters, musicians, writers—whom he had befriended at RAI (Gruppo 63) became an important and influential component in Eco's future writing career. This was especially true after the publication of his first book in 1956, Il problema estetico di San Tommaso, which was an extension of his doctoral thesis. This also marked the beginning of his lecturing career at his alma mater. In September 1962, he married Renate Ramge, a German art teacher with whom he has a son and a daughter. He divides his time between an apartment in Milan and a vacation house near Rimini.

The year is 1327. Franciscans 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. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey where extraordinary things are happening under the cover of night. A spectacular popular and critical success, "The Name of the Rose" is not only a narrative of a murder investigation but an astonishing chronicle of the Middle Ages. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

读后感

一句话先评论一下艾柯的书，个人感觉不如《波多里诺》，可能是第一篇小说的关系，艾柯在书里太炫知识了，着严重影响了阅读小说的流畅性。所以说，尽管艾柯在学识上比丹布朗牛逼多了，但是他的小说卖的不如丹布朗的好。 好了，来说那些乱七八糟的宗教派别。不要去百度那些派别...

欲望与书的迷宫 赵松 博尔赫斯之后，轻率地谈论书籍所构建的迷宫，容易被视为滥调。要想在这方面不陷入博尔赫斯的阴影，需要比较大的才能。一九八零年，翁贝托-埃科完成了《玫瑰的名字》，在里面他虚构了一座迷宫式图书馆，有复杂的路径、无数珍本古籍、神秘的镜子，还有难解的...  

有人说，看完《玫瑰之名》再与埃科聊天，就好像面对一根波隆纳的罗马蜡烛；他才情焕发，心思缜密，是个诡谲但不狡狯的学者。 虽然这种形容跟鬼话一样，但我不得不承认，《玫瑰之名》的确是根漂亮的“波隆纳罗马蜡烛”。阅读它的最佳方式是：随便翻到一页，读下去，直到困倦。...  

用户评价

真是一本很厉害的推理、犯罪、宗教、哲学、历史小说…Umberto真是牛逼

里面对宗教的一些观点倒是颇有建地。场景设计的也好。

读得好幸苦

这是本高于侦探的侦探小说，Eco把文字，数学，和宗教织成了一个惊险刺激的谜。这本书我是在地铁上颠着看的。好看的我都忘了晕车。某黑夜我手执一书，做目不旁视状在等车，不一会儿，一满身酒气的黑大爷过来要钱。我摸遍全身，居然没一个钢崩，当时汗都下来了，就怕他一不小心毙了我。我哆嗦着说大爷对不起小的我今天真没钱。大爷冷笑一声说好罢，你看的啥书。我结巴着说是就是跟圣经和上帝有关的。他做愉悦状说god bless就走了。所以我要感谢Eco救了我一次。
