Author: Umberto Eco
1a Ed: 1980
Il nome della rosa it's what I'm going to talk you today.
I can recommend such a nice book for those ones like me who like medieval stories, mystery, terrible murders and a big mind putting all his enforces to discover a veiled truth.
At the first moment, I thought the book's story was full of quite a big investigation behind it, because, Eco, could tell us, a pretty complete context, where symbols are posed in every part.
The main story
The development happens in a monastery in the year 1327, about two weeks of great mystery.
William de Barskerville, a pretty smart franciscan, travel with his little disciple Also de Melk, to a lost monastery on mountains, specifically Italy. At a time like that, franciscans, the order, are in trouble to live its religious ideology of austerity; and, because of that, are looking a meeting with the pope to get peace with him and the Vatican.
Above that, the main event are 7 different murders related with prophecies. And William actions take form trying to discover what's going on in such an apparently sacral place.
Thinking...
Umberto Eco, is a very well known Italian thinker, and a man of semiotics. I'd like to mention this, because Il nome della Rosa, as I said before have a big registry of symbols and from that, a lot of signs.
An interesting and common topic of discussion is- and I left it to you- what's the meaning of the rose in the title?
We need considering the rose has lots of signification, and it depends on context. From that, we should obtain a mix of analogies and maybe, could reach the knowledge of main purpose.
I read the book aproximately six years ago, when I was in high school. I remember myself seeking for sacral stories and because of that, I pick it up. The little details are -lamentably- forgotten in my conciousness.
