The Name of the Rose

This hugely engaging story of murder, superstition, religious politics and drama in a medieval monastery was one of the most striking novels to appear in the 1980s. The Name of the Rose is a thrilling story enriched with period detail and laced with tongue in cheek allusions to fictional characters, the most striking of which is the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville, who displays many characteristics of Sherlock Holmes. Although he looks at the past through a postmodern lens, Eco catapults his readers into the dark medieval world as Brother William tries to discover why people are dying inexplicably and nastily in the monastery. There is something not altogether right within the library that is the pride of the establishment... The old man Adso, who was an impressionable novice at the time, tells the story.

BladvändareInformativHäpnadsväckandeTankeväckandeHjärtevärmandeSorgligThis must be one of the most remarkable books written. That is an easy conclusion, to define why or what it is truly about is more difficult. A debate on a religious point held at a remote monastery brings the characters to the scene. The plot is mainly driven by a murder investigation. A significant number of discussions on Christian heresies, piety, learning, and the clash between the temporal and the ecclesiastical power take place. A vivid portrayal of monastic life in the early 14:th century and a large number of fascinating characters makes the story real and believable.

TråkigEn av väldigt få böcker som är sämre än filmen.Alldeles för mycket långtråkiga utläggningar om påvar kejsare och andra säkert väldigt intressanta människors, om man är professor i ämnet. Även mycket latin utan direkt översättning.
