Title : The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco - Book

Summary :

In the year of grace and disgrace 1327, all is well in Christendom. Bands of heretics roam the kingdoms. When William of Baskerville, accompanied by his secretary, arrives in the haven of serenity and neutrality that is the abbey located between Provence and Liguria – admired throughout the West for the knowledge of its monks and the richness of its library – he is immediately put to work by the abbot. The day before, a monk threw himself from the top of the walls. It is the first of the assassinations that will be punctuated by the canonical hours of monastic life. Crimes, debauchery, vice, heresy, all will occur in the space of seven days.

In its amusing form of detective novel and clever form of erudite riddle, a vibrant plea for freedom, for moderation, for wisdom, threatened on all sides by the forces of unreason and darkness. Dominique Fernandez, L'Express.
