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.
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.
最近和好几个朋友说起《玫瑰》,听到的几乎都是众口一词的抱怨——这本书好难读啊。所谓的难读,并不是说书不好,毋宁说太正统了,和事先想象的形态相差甚远。其实,论布局、解迷难度,推理小说中胜过玫瑰的大有人在,论啃理论艰辛,京极夏彦、岛田庄司的大作读起来费脑其实也...
评分我很久以前讀過的書,它還被改編成電影. 現在回頭來看,最大的感慨是:偏執是一種罪惡!終於了解為什麼厲官比貪官更可怕,因為他自認是正義之師.所謂"基本教義派",或是思想光譜中極左,極右,深綠,深藍,深紅,深黃.....都是可能基於他的祟高目標下,整肅異己.所以書中反...
评分这本书里探讨了很多有趣的问题,故事本身倒不怎么出人意料,倒是辩论中能看到很多不同的观念,涉及各种领域,有启发性。有可能的话值得再好好回味一下。
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...
评分说实话,一个发生在七天里的侦探故事,通常只用一个小小的短篇即可写得精采、紧张、惊险、有趣,但埃科却用了五百多页来写,如果用物理学的“密度”概念来比喻一下,那这本书就象一个塞满了铁砂的皮袋。那么他到底在这里面都塞了什么使这本书象如此沉甸甸的呢?下面就是他塞进...
从室友那里借了看,幸好刚看过西欧中世纪史
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。
评分这是本高于侦探的侦探小说,Eco把文字,数学,和宗教织成了一个惊险刺激的谜。这本书我是在地铁上颠着看的。好看的我都忘了晕车。某黑夜我手执一书,做目不旁视状在等车,不一会儿,一满身酒气的黑大爷过来要钱。我摸遍全身,居然没一个钢崩,当时汗都下来了,就怕他一不小心毙了我。我哆嗦着说大爷对不起小的我今天真没钱。大爷冷笑一声说好罢,你看的啥书。我结巴着说是就是跟圣经和上帝有关的。他做愉悦状说god bless就走了。所以我要感谢Eco救了我一次。
评分真是一本很厉害的推理、犯罪、宗教、哲学、历史小说…Umberto真是牛逼
评分“现代性的神学起源”的戏剧化呈现。平安夜在梵蒂冈排队的时候读完了这本书,为今年的阅读旅程画上了句号。
