具体描述
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.
作者简介
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.

读后感
埃科无疑是当代欧洲最博学的学者之一，他自己也曾从符号学角度研究过“多才多艺”的艺术家（multi-talented artist），提出符号的等值特点以及个人的推理演绎能力能使艺术家打通壁垒。 他说：“在极其多样化的笔头活动之间存在有很深的、有时是秘密的联系。这就是为什么我总是...
评分欲望与书的迷宫 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...

用户评价
这本书的氛围营造简直是大师级的杰作，它自带一种阴郁、潮湿的、仿佛永远笼罩在薄雾中的压抑感。你仿佛能闻到发霉的书页散发出的腐朽气息，听到石墙回荡的空旷脚步声。这种感官上的沉浸感，使得那些发生在修道院深处的恐怖事件显得尤为真实和令人不安。叙事声音的处理非常特别，既有第一人称观察者的冷静记录，又时不时流露出对中世纪世界观的深深困惑与疏离，这种双重视角让故事的层次更加丰富。我必须承认，关于教会历史和哲学流派的那些段落，读起来是颇为费劲的，需要反复琢磨，但正是这些看似“不必要”的学术铺陈，为最终揭示的真相提供了坚实的地基。它构建了一个完整的、自洽的微观宇宙，在这个宇宙里，信仰的虔诚与人性的弱点交织成一张复杂难解的网。每一次翻页，都像是在拨开一层层历史的迷雾，寻找被时间深埋的真相，体验感极为独特。
评分说实话，一开始翻开这本厚厚的书卷，我内心是有些抵触的，那密集的拉丁语引文和对经文的详尽引用，差点让我望而却步。但坚持下来后，我发现这根本不是一本轻松的小说，而更像是一部披着悬疑外衣的百科全书。它强迫你去思考，去查阅那些陌生的历史背景知识，每一次阅读都像是一场主动的学习过程。作者对于符号学和逻辑推理的运用达到了登峰造极的程度，那些隐藏在文本和建筑结构中的线索，如同散落在迷宫中的面包屑，需要极大的耐心和敏锐的观察力才能捕捉到。我特别喜欢那种“局内人”的感觉，当一些晦涩的典故或预言被成功解读时，那种会心一笑的满足感，是其他任何类型小说都难以给予的。它不是简单地告诉你凶手是谁，而是将你置于侦探的位置，共同面对人类理性与蒙昧之间的永恒斗争。那种对知识力量的赞颂和对审查制度的无声批判，通过一个扣人心弦的故事巧妙地融合在一起，读起来酣畅淋漓，充满了智力上的挑衅性。
评分这部作品的史诗感是其最引人注目的特质之一，它绝非一个简单的“谁干的”的故事，而是一部关于时代精神的宏大寓言。作者笔下的中世纪并非一个扁平的、充满迷信的背景板，而是一个充满活力、矛盾和思想激烈碰撞的动态空间。人物对话的精妙之处在于其对白中蕴含的张力——表面上是客气的神学讨论，骨子里却是对权力边界和信仰自由的激烈争夺。特别是当两位主角，那位经验丰富的修士和他的年轻助手，在探寻谜团的过程中，他们的智慧与勇气在那个充满偏见与恐惧的环境中显得尤为可贵。这种对“理性之光”在黑暗中挣扎的描绘，具有强烈的感染力。它成功地将一场中世纪的谋杀案，转化成了一场关于知识传承与文化存续的史诗级辩论，读起来既有历史的厚重感，又不失叙事的流畅与紧凑。
评分天哪，这本书简直是一场智力上的盛宴，我得说，它完全超出了我原本对历史小说的预期。阅读的体验就像是走进了中世纪一个布满尘埃、弥漫着羊皮纸和蜡烛气味的图书馆，每一个角落都潜藏着令人窒息的秘密。作者的叙事节奏处理得极其高明，时而让你沉浸在对哲学思辨的深度挖掘中，那些关于真理、异端和知识本质的辩论，如同精雕细琢的宝石，闪烁着令人眼花缭乱的光芒。接着，情节的张力又会突然收紧，如同被绷紧的弓弦，你开始跟随主人公在错综复杂的修道院政治和神秘的死亡事件中抽丝剥茧。那些对中世纪生活细节的描绘，细致入微到令人发指，从日常的祷文仪式到炼金术的微小操作，都构建了一个无比真实可信的世界。我尤其欣赏作者在处理复杂人物群像时的功力，每一个修士、学者乃至卑微的仆人，都有着清晰的动机和多维的性格侧面，他们不是符号，而是活生生的、被信仰和欲望驱动的个体。读完后劲很大，不仅仅是解开了谜团的快感，更是对那个时代思想冲突和知识压抑状态的深刻反思，感觉像是完成了一次艰苦但无比充实的学术考察。
评分我通常不太追捧那些需要“努力”才能读懂的书，但这一本，是值得我付出所有精力的。它真正的魅力在于其对“禁忌知识”的探讨，那种对被压抑的、被视为异端的思想的深切关注，令人震撼。作者巧妙地利用了中世纪信息闭塞的环境，将一本书的命运提升到了关乎整个文明走向的高度。整个故事结构如同一个精密的钟表，每一个齿轮——无论是草药师的低语、抄写员的笔迹，还是修道院院长的冷酷决断——都完美契合，推动着时间向前，直到最后的、近乎宿命般的爆发。我特别佩服作者将文学性和学术性融合得天衣无缝的能力，它既能满足普通读者对悬疑情节的渴求，又能让那些对符号学或历史感兴趣的读者找到无穷的深挖点。读完后，我感觉自己对“文本”本身产生了全新的认识，明白了文字是如何成为武器，又是如何成为救赎的工具。
评分里面对宗教的一些观点倒是颇有建地。场景设计的也好。
评分修道院大火三天三夜 一切的徒劳无功却让我心里异常平静
评分对中世纪宗教史了解不够的话，感到英文版真的很难读… 还夹杂大量意大利语和法语。William Weaver翻译很给力。PS：真精彩啊！要列为我最喜欢的小说TOP3了。处处闪耀着思想的火花。超喜欢关于laughter的那几段争论。
评分in the labyrinth of time and space, I cannot get a clue
评分作者搭起一个侦探小说的架子，装进一本历史小说，一本探讨存在、真理、人性的哲学小说，一个人物结构语言皆精彩纷呈的文本舞台。变态啊，过瘾啊！读者过瘾，作者写起来更是爽到不能自拔吧。
