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.
埃科在最后留下了一个漏洞,好像是一个漏洞。小说最开始的时候波多里诺对尼塞塔叙述他的经历时强调了自己从未杀过人除了自己的养父腓特烈大帝,但在小说的最后波多里诺并不知道自己杀了自己的养父,这还是尼塞塔找来帕夫努吉欧经过推断才让读者知道腓特烈大帝死于谁手。波多里...
評分 評分这是一部神奇的小说,说其神奇并不是形容词,而是名词,因为贯穿全书的约翰王祭司的事迹在中世纪的欧洲广为流传。显然作者也是以此为全书的中心。 波多里诺是个骗子,问题是他是否只是骗骗腓特烈大帝,还是连这个找寻约翰王的故事也是假的,又或者干脆没有波多里诺这个人,一切...
