Reviews for The Name of the Rose

'This novel belongs with Voltaire' philosophical tales - in the entertaining guise of an erudite fiction story, it is also a vibrant plea for freedom, moderation and wisdom' * L'Express * 'A novel of stunning intelligence, linguistic richness, thematic complexity' * Il Giorno * 'Umberto Eco has written a novel - his first - and it has become a literary event' * New York Times Book Review *
