About This Novel
In the past, roses were fragrant because of celebrities, but today people only hold the name of roses. "The Name of the Rose" is Umberto Eco's masterpiece, known as the ancestor of "cryptographic mystery novels". In Japan, a country with great mystery literature, it was even selected as the first place in the overall evaluation list of the "This Mystery Novel is Amazing" award since its establishment 20 years ago. Thirty years after publication, the author has made some revisions and deletions in response to feedback from readers about the Latin citations and the extensive knowledge background. In order to enrich the reading experience, the newly revised edition will also include the article "Notes on the Name of the Rose". "The Name of the Rose" takes place in a medieval monastery. The monk William and his disciple Adso came to the monastery to prepare for the mediation between the emperor and the pope. As soon as the two arrived, a murder occurred in the monastery. William, who is good at reasoning, was entrusted by the dean to investigate, but the murders did not stop, and one person died every day. The maze-like library in the monastery holds many secrets. When the secret is revealed, the truth about the murder is also revealed. Finally, the monastery was destroyed in a fire.
