In 1983 a murder mystery set in the middle ages, by an Italian
professor of semiotics, became a worldwide bestseller. Parable,
polemic, or just good, erudite fun? In the words of Lisa Jardine,
the bestselling historian, this story of William of Baskerville and
Adso of Melk in an Italian abbey in 1327 'makes a compelling
mystery about hand-copied books, monks and inquisitors out of a
profoundly well-informed version of early-Renaissance manuscripts,
monastic life and religious intolerance.' (Kirkus UK)
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 over 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.
