Eco s writing is so infectious, lively, and likeable that I thought it appropriate to pen my review in his style.1 In which I, as reader, feel used.Yes, I m almost certain Eco wrote this thing for the sole purpose of informing us of how knowledgeable he is of the finer points of monastic orders, book trivia, and medieval philosophy Knowing most would not put up with this crap for 500 pages, he wisely chose to interrupt his many digressions on poverty, heretics, whether or not Jesus laughed, Aris [...]

Go ahead, throw your tomatoes at me I know that in general this book is loved Many count it amongst their favorites I found it very dull and very boring I had an extremely hard time staying interested in the story, which is weird for me and mystery suspense stories Never have I fought so hard to finish a book in general, I do not DNF.So, if you couldn t stand it either, let me know that I am not alone.For those that loved it and are ready to launch rotten produce at me

This is one of those rare near perfect books that crosses through many genres and could be universally acclaimed There are dozens of great reviews on here already, but this book struck me as so profound that I felt I needed to briefly put down my own thoughts I could not bring myself to put this down and it was always a battle to not skip work and continue reading in the parking lot after lunch break Eco crafts a novel that could be labeled as historical fiction, mystery, theology and philosophy [...]

Reprinted from the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography cclapcenter I am the original author of this essay, as well as the owner of CCLaP it is not being reprinted here illegally The CCLaP 100 In which I read a hundred so called classics and then write reports on whether or not I think they deserve the labelBook 7 The Name of the Rose, by Umberto EcoThe story in a nutshell In one of the fascinating stories of how a novelist was first drawn to his profession, scholar Umberto Eco was act [...]

The Name of the Rose is not a book to be picked up lightly with the expectation that you, the reader, are about to embark on a traditional work of historical fiction Umberto Eco expects much from the reader of this book Almost immediately the unsuspecting reader will find himself dropped into the midst of the High Middle Ages, a society completely foreign for the majority of modern readers.In historical context, the story occurs during the time the Papacy had moved from its traditional location [...]

If I had to spend a year on a desert island and was only allowed to take one book, this would be it At the time of its publication, one reviewer described The Name of the Rose as a book about everything At first glance, it may seem to be a book largely about obscure Fourteenth Century religious controversies, heresies and sects, with a murder mystery mixed in But this is a book that rewards repeat readings I ve just finished it for the seventh time , and the heart of the novel is in its expositi [...]

Forget Christopher Hitchens Away with that Richard Doggins guy For a truly penetrating look at religion and atheism, Umberto Eco, he da man The Name of the Rose is a profoundly nihilistic book It is ostensibly a book about a murder mystery A man, a monk rather, Brother William, arrives with his assistant, Adso, at an abbey high in the Italian Alps A murder has been committed, and Brother William will apply reason and logic a Sherlock avant la lettre to deduce the murderer Or does he He does inde [...]

This is one humdinger of a book medieval history, Gothic noir and classic whodunit rolled into one It s very slow but taking your time to read it slowly provides rich dividends, IMO This is a book to be savoured.Brother William of Baskerville the name, as well as his appearance marks him as a sort of medieval Sherlock Holmes is the detective par excellence, and Adso of Melk is the perfect Watson The story unfolds in the fashion of the classic mystery The secret, when it is revealed, is sufficien [...]

What a didactic, tedious, prolix piece of trash Eco writes whole paragraphs in Latin and then leaves them untranslated, because he s such an awesome polyglot that chicks want to do him Readers are also expected to know Dutch Eco likes to hear himself talk, too Want to hear pedantic 14th century theological arguments that stretch on for pages and have nothing to do with the plot You ve got it Want a lame Dan Brown mystery, with the same stilted dialogue, but embellished with entire chapters of th [...]

I had wanted to read The Name of the Rose for a long time, mostly because I enjoy both fiction and non fiction about the Middle Ages, and also because of its importance as a piece of modern Italian literature Although I liked it for the most part, I have to admit that it disappointed me in many ways As a mystery novel, I was expecting it to be a fast paced page turner, whereas in reality The Name of the Rose is very slow and ponderous I appreciate the attention to detail and the minute and accur [...]

A surprising novel, masquerading as a piece of historical fiction, all very proper inside its fake framing narrative, but also managing to be a spoof murder mystery.The main character is William of Baskerville who has a Watson like side kick He may not use cocaine but he does eat certain herbs and some of his description is lifted from that of a famous resident of Baker Street And wait, a isn t a monastery with it s hidden conflicts, somewhat isolated from everyday life, and desires awfully simi [...]

Truth illusoryUmberto Eco s The Name of the Rose can rightly be called the literary equivalent of a shrewd smuggling operation Surreptitiously sailing under the banner of what seems at first glance to be a traditional and thus holding the promise of mass appeal detective story, the recently deceased Italian semiotician clearly is reaching for a far rich tapestry of genres some tropes of which maintained, others slightly subverted and themes In fact, he himself admitted as such, on the dust jack [...]

20 February 2016 Umberto Eco died yesterday Sad May he rest in peace and may the gods be with him.I have read some rather amazing books this year but upon reflection this has to be the best Apart from being a gothic thriller set in the late fourteenth century in a monastery, the structure and style of the work is exceptional I really wish though that I had not seen the film with Sean Connery because every time Brother William of Baskerville philosophized or even asked a somewhat ordinary questio [...]

What can I say about The Name of the Rose, besides adding that I loved it Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books it is as if they spoke among themselves In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the disturbing to me It was then the place of a long, centuries old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of po [...]

It is wishful thinking on my part that my review would capture, firstly, and then later, the mood of my bewilderment and disappointment respectively The Name Of The Rose is an ode to ignorance As the saying goes, never attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance This medieval tale doesn t feel like a contemporary book, which is the aim of most historical fictions For much of the beginning, politics and theology dominate the proceedings As this story is a mystery at its heart, its dis [...]

This book is both astonishingly difficult and extremely rewarding I had six years of Latin in middle and high school and have taken a course on medieval philosophy and I still found this one both challenging and satisfying Anyone willing to put the work in is going to adore this one.WARNING, however this is not a trashy medieval conspiracy novel This is not a thriller It is an excellent book and a perfect mystery, but it is still set in the 14th century and all of the characters are still monks [...]

The Name of the Rose A convoluted and thorny plant of beautyThe Name of the Rose ranks among some of the most complex books read by myself However where works like Paradise Lost or Titus Groan contain their complexity with the power of beautiful flowing prose this novel works at maintaining complexity through its sheer psychological and philosophical depth Added to which the reader can observe that this sophisticated work of fiction is so tightly wound as to form a textual labyrinth like the one [...]
