Of Eco's numerous works, I can count the ones I have personally read on my fingers, but this was the first of his novels to be read. Having always held high expectations based solely on rumors of its excellence, I read this novel during my vacation and felt that it was truly a work only Eco could produce. Above all, for those interested in the Western Middle Ages, it is sufficient to satisfy a great deal of intellectual curiosity regarding medieval culture, regardless of the story. It is
I went to the Beautiful Store in the morning. The Beautiful Store is a social organization that receives donations of all the items we need—whether new or used, including clothes, books, and daily necessities—and sells them to share the proceeds with neighbors in need. I had heard that the item I was looking for was there, so I had been putting it off, but I finally went. However, the item I was looking for had already been sold.

This book is truly renowned. There are many people who say they deliberately saved it for later. As someone who loves to travel, I advise against holding back on anything, as there are times when you tell yourself, "I'll go to India once I've built up enough experience," only to end up becoming a completely different person and never actually going.

To Brother Jorge, countless heretics such as Dolcino, Remigio, and even William are a necessary evil and, in fact, a welcome presence. This is because, broadly speaking, their heresy is merely a difference in religious interpretation; they not only provide grounds to warn of the demonic presence and dangers behind them but also act as forces that reflexively reveal the existence of God even more. However, the Scholastic interpretation of faith, inheriting the legacy of Aristotle, sought to

Like me, those encountering *The Name of the Rose* for the first time will likely start by wondering what the title signifies. This curiosity is not easily resolved even within the novel itself. Umberto Eco wants each reader to unleash their infinite imagination regarding the meaning of *The Name of the Rose*. Just as he himself stated that a novel that the writer can interpret is not a novel... I first encountered Eco's *Baudolino* about three years ago. Although I had heard of *The Name of
This is a work by Umberto Eco, whose name alone has become a colossal intellectual symbol. He is a representative scholar of our time, proficient in semiotics, mathematics, and computers, fluent in ten languages, and simultaneously recognized as a philosopher, historian, and aesthetician. Even without reading such a resume, reading just one of his works will leave you unable to suppress respect and admiration for his astonishing intellect and erudition. This book, which I first encountered in
This book first captivated me through the movie. It was a movie I had seen on TV back in elementary school... I watched it because my favorite actors, Sean Connery and Christian Slater, were in it, and the title was unique, but the fun and shock I felt after watching it are still unforgettable... Later, I heard that the movie was based on a book and wanted to read it, but I couldn't easily bring myself to pick it up because I thought it would be difficult to read in book form... Then one day, I
"The rose of yesteryear is now only a name; all that remains for us is that fleeting name." Among the novels by Umberto Eco that I received from my uncle, I readily chose *The Name of the Rose*, drawn in by its title. Although I have not fully grasped its underlying meaning, the title continues to captivate me. While my ability to fully understand the work as a whole is far from sufficient, I am convinced it is a magnificent piece worth praising. As I savored the thrilling plot, I began to look
[The Name of the Rose] is concluded with the phrase... Wouldn't the question that arises for anyone reading this book begin right there? I mean the question of why the title of this book, which deals with a series of murders in a medieval monastery, is [The Name of the Rose]. Before reading, my only knowledge of the book was that it had been adapted into a movie, and that it featured a murder method that sounded somewhat familiar—poison smeared in a corner of a famous book so that the reader
Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose (Part 1)
The first volume of *The Name of the Rose*, a full-length novel by Italian author Umberto Eco dealing with a horrific series of murders that took place in a medieval Italian monastery. The narrative is driven by a harmony of Aristotle's logic, Thomas Aquinas's theology, the author's profound anthropological knowledge, and modern semiotic theories. A translator's note and the author's biography are included to aid in understanding the work. In 1327, William, an English monk, arrives at a monastery in Italy with his attendant, Adso, on a mysterious mission. Inside the monastery, a horrific series of murders beyond imagination unfolds exactly as prophesied in the Book of Revelation, and the book holding the key to the case vanishes like smoke before their eyes. Finally deciphering the code, William witnesses the true nature of the fanaticism that dominates the monastery…
