The ground-breaking first novel from Umberto Eco - a murder mystery, an enthralling chronicle of the Middle Ages, a piece of biblical analysis and a stunning popular and critical success all at once.

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 over 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.

Industry Reviews

In 1983 a murder mystery set in the middle ages, by an Italian professor of semiotics, became a worldwide bestseller. Parable, polemic, or just good, erudite fun? In the words of Lisa Jardine, the bestselling historian, this story of William of Baskerville and Adso of Melk in an Italian abbey in 1327 'makes a compelling mystery about hand-copied books, monks and inquisitors out of a profoundly well-informed version of early-Renaissance manuscripts, monastic life and religious intolerance.'
