The Name of the Rose (Paperback)

The Italian author Umberto Eco, who became famous all over the world with his giant novel The Name of the Rose, is actually a multi-faceted scientist. He is a lecturer at the University of Bologna in Italy, a semiologist, historian, philosopher, aesthetician, medievalist and someone who has done deep research on James Joyce. Umberto Eco's first novel has been reprinted countless times since it was first published in Italy in 1980 and has been translated into many languages. The echoes of this novel, which has aroused extraordinary interest in the world, are still continuing. The film also had a great impact in the world. Undoubtedly, the author's deep and direct knowledge of the Middle Ages has a great share in the success of this novel. While it reflects the medieval world in every sense and in every way, The Name of the Rose is definitely a contemporary novel; an original novel that brings a brand new and long breath to the contemporary novel. In one sense, it is a historical novel set in the Middle Ages and discussing Christian thought, and in another sense, it is a masterfully constructed detective and gripping story. And most importantly, it has an extraordinary language and a rare work of art. We must also note with admiration the meticulous and long work of Şadan Karadeniz, who successfully translated this famous novel from its original Italian into Turkish. Umberto Eco's second great novel, Foucault's Pendulum, which appeared among our publications, and his essay book Dreaming of the Middle Ages are also translated by Şadan Karadeniz...
