Sinopse

Umberto Eco's first novel, The Name of the Rose , won the Strega Prize and was listed by Le Monde as one of the most important of the 20th century. This revised edition features a new graphic design and a glossary with translations of Latin terms.

It's impossible to think of The Name of the Rose without considering its extraordinary global success, both with critics and the public. It's one of those rare publishing phenomena, a literary bestseller that transcends linguistic boundaries.

This is the first novel by Umberto Eco, one of the most important mass communication theorists of the 20th century. The author uses a detective story, in the style of Conan Doyle, set during the last week of November 1327, in a Franciscan monastery in medieval Italy.

Suspicion of heresy looms in this monastery, and Friar William of Baskerville is sent to investigate. However, this delicate mission is interrupted by seven eccentric murders. The deaths, under unusual circumstances, of seven monks in seven days and seven nights drive a violent narrative, captivating for its humor and cruelty, malice and erotic sedition.

These crimes force Friar William to work as a detective. He searches for evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and works tirelessly in the mysterious labyrinth that is the monastery, where extraordinary events occur in the early hours of the morning.

A spectacular success, The Name of the Rose is not only a crime investigation narrative but also a fascinating chronicle of the Middle Ages. This edition, revised by renowned translator Ivone Benedetti, contains an updated biography of Umberto Eco, a review note, and a glossary with translations of the Latin terms used by the author.
