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 (Il nome della rosa, 1980), 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"[1].
Eco is President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, University of Bologna, and an Honorary Fellow of Kellogg College, University of Oxford.[2] He has also written academic texts, children’s books and many essays.
Eco returns to the Middle Ages with Baudolino - a wondrous, provocative, beguiling tale of history, myth, and invention. It is April, 1204, and Constantinople, the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by the knights of the fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, one Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors, and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story. Born a simple peasant in northern Italy, Baudolino has two major gifts - a talent for learning foreign languages and skill in relling lies. One day, when still a boy, he met a foreign commander in the woods, charming him with his quick wit and lively mind. The commander - who proves to be the emperor Frederick Barbarossa - adopts Baudolino and sends him to the university in Paris, where he makes a number of fearless, adventurous friends. Spurred on by myths and their own reveries, this merry band sets out in search of Prester John, a legendary priest-king who was said to rule over a vast kingdom in the East - a phantasmagorical land of strange creatures with eyes on their shoulders and mouths on their stomachs, of eunuchs, unicorns, and lovely maidens. As always with Eco, this abundant novel includes dazzling digressions, outrageous tricks, pages of extraordinary feeling and poetry, and vicarious reflections on our postmodern age. Baudolino is an utterly marvelous tale by the inimitable author of The Name of the Rose.
不太了解欧洲历史和基督教,全当作故事书来看,也觉得很好看! 最喜欢的有三部分:亚历山大的平地而起、伊帕吉雅说上帝,以及最后揭露腓特烈大帝密室之死。 很过瘾,推荐一把!
评分你相信日久生情吗?尤其是对一本书,你相信日久生情吗?我现在有一些相信了,在读过这本《波多里诺》之后,我开始有一些相信了。 说实话,刚刚拿到这本翁贝托•埃科先生的《波多里诺》时,心中多少是由一些含糊的,因为这本书可真是够厚的,足足有五百多页。虽然我有时间而且...
评分【耶稣复活】 公元33年4月15日清晨,耶路撒冷。耶稣死了已经有一个礼拜。 彼得看着面前惊惶失措的玛利亚,这可怜的妇人正哭诉着,她的情人,她的导师,罪人耶稣的坟墓被人撬开了。 “干得不赖,亚利马太人约瑟……倒是个人才。”彼得一边想,一边对身旁某门徒说,...
