Beskrivning
A titan of comics illustrates this masterful graphic novel adaptation of Umberto Eco's internationally bestselling historical mystery.Italy, 1327. While Brother William of Baskerville is investigating accusations of heresy at a wealthy abbey, his inquiries are disrupted by a series of bizarre deaths. Falling back on his practiced detective skills to find the killer, he relies on the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. With the aid of his young apprentice, William scours the abbey, from its stables to the labyrinthine library, piecing together evidence, and deciphering cryptic symbols and coded manuscripts to uncover the truth about this place where "the most interesting things happen at night."The first official graphic novel adaptation of Umberto Eco's classic work is illustrated by acclaimed comics artist Milo Manara, whose use of lush watercolors and pen drawings have earned him industry recognition, including induction into the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame and an Eisner award.First published in 1980, The Name of the Rose became an international sensation, beguiling readers around the world with its mix of history, humor, and intellectual heft. Eco's debut won the Premio Strega and the Prix Médicis Étranger awards before going on to become a beloved novel that “explodes with pyrotechnic inventions, literally as well as figuratively. Hold on till the end” (The New York Times).Translated from the Italian by Richard Dixon

Explodes with pyrotechnic inventions, literally as well as figuratively. Hold on till the end. — New York TimesUnforgetable. — R. F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and YellowfaceLike the labyrinthine library at its heart, this brilliant novel has many cunning passages and secret chambers . . . Fascinating . . . ingenious . . . dazzling. — NewsweekThe Name of the Rose succeeds at being amusing and ambitious at the same time. It can be regarded as a philosophical novel masked as a detective story, or a detective story masked as a historical novel, or even better as a blend of all three. The venture sounds improbable, but Eco carries it out. — New York Review of BooksA brilliantly conceived adventure into another time, an intelligent and complex novel, a lively and well-plotted mystery. — San Francisco ChronicleWhether you're into Sherlock Holmes, Montaillou, Borges, the nouvelle critique, the Rule of St. Benedict, metaphysics, library design, or The Thing from the Crypt, you'll love it. Who can that miss out? — Sunday Times (London)Unfolds in an atmosphere thick with hostility and intrigue . . . Although The Name of the Rose is not a story of semiotics, Eco the novelist shares with Eco the semiotician a feeling for the world as a place rich with possible meanings. — Christian Science Monitor
