About this book
The Name of the Rose is a historical mystery by Umberto Eco, first published in Italian in 1980. In the year 1327 the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville arrives, with his young novice Adso of Melk, at a wealthy Benedictine abbey in northern Italy, where he is asked to look into a heresy dispute. Instead he finds himself investigating a series of unexplained deaths among the monks.
William applies logic and the scientific habits of his time to the puzzle, and the trail leads to the abbey's guarded library. The novel combines a detective story with medieval theology, politics and the history of books.
