Sinopse

A revised deluxe edition of Umberto Eco's most important work of fiction.

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 theorists of mass communication today. 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 nights drive a violent narrative, captivating with its humor and cruelty, malice and erotic sedition.

These crimes force Friar William to act as a detective. He searches for evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and works tirelessly in the monastery's mysterious labyrinth 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 deluxe 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.
