About the book

Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose is a historical mystery set in a remote Italian monastery during the fourteenth century. The Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his young companion Adso investigate a series of mysterious deaths among the monks. Their search leads through a labyrinthine library and into questions of heresy, knowledge and religious authority. The novel combines detective fiction, medieval history and philosophical inquiry.
