Umberto Eco (born 5 January 1932) is an Italian medievalist, semiotician, philosopher, literary critic and novelist, best known for his novel The Name of the Rose, an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. His 1988 novel Foucault's Pendulum has been described as a "thinking person's Da Vinci Code". Eco is President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, University of Bologna. He has also written academic texts, children’s books and many essays. Eco was born in the city of Alessandria in the region of Piedmont. His father, Giulio, was an accountant before the government called upon him to serve in three wars. During World War II, Umberto and his mother, Giovanna, moved to a small village in the Piedmontese mountainside. Eco received a Salesian education, and he has made references to the order and its founder in his works and interviews. His family name is supposedly an acronym of ex caelis oblatus (Latin: a gift from the heavens), which was given to his grandfather (a foundling) by a city official. His father was the son of a family with thirteen children, and urged Umberto to become a lawyer, but he entered the University of Turin in order to take up medieval philosophy and literature, writing his thesis on Thomas Aquinas and earning his BA in philosophy in 1954. During this time, Eco left the Roman Catholic Church after a crisis of faith. After this, Eco worked as a cultural editor for the state broadcasting station Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) and also lectured at the University of Turin (1956–64). A group of avant-garde artists—painters, musicians, writers—whom he had befriended at RAI (Gruppo 63) became an important and influential component in Eco's future writing career. This was especially true after the publication of his first book in 1956, Il problema estetico di San Tommaso, which was an extension of his doctoral thesis. This also marked the beginning of his lecturing career at his alma mater. In September 1962, he married Renate Ramge, a German art teacher with whom he has a son and a daughter. He divides his time between an apartment in Milan and a vacation house near Rimini.
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey where extraordinary things are happening under the cover of night. A spectacular popular and critical success, "The Name of the Rose" is not only a narrative of a murder investigation but an astonishing chronicle of the Middle Ages. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
这本书里探讨了很多有趣的问题,故事本身倒不怎么出人意料,倒是辩论中能看到很多不同的观念,涉及各种领域,有启发性。有可能的话值得再好好回味一下。
评分上个周末到的书,通宵达旦的今天就看完了!感觉还行,感到自己知识面狭窄很多地方都无法参透其隐语,有人给我介绍说这是一本关于符号哲学的书,我甚至在以前没有听说过这门哲学。读这本书完全用刚看过书去,感觉这本书可以和红楼梦相提并论,虽然二者所产生的文化土壤千差万别...
评分埃科无疑是当代欧洲最博学的学者之一,他自己也曾从符号学角度研究过“多才多艺”的艺术家(multi-talented artist),提出符号的等值特点以及个人的推理演绎能力能使艺术家打通壁垒。 他说:“在极其多样化的笔头活动之间存在有很深的、有时是秘密的联系。这就是为什么我总是...
评分我很久以前讀過的書,它還被改編成電影. 現在回頭來看,最大的感慨是:偏執是一種罪惡!終於了解為什麼厲官比貪官更可怕,因為他自認是正義之師.所謂"基本教義派",或是思想光譜中極左,極右,深綠,深藍,深紅,深黃.....都是可能基於他的祟高目標下,整肅異己.所以書中反...
评分我庆幸我能以一个“俗人”的视角来阅读这本书。 任何严谨的思辨、逻辑推理、符号解构转瞬即逝。而对历史学、神学、宗教,我均无任何研究。 在迷宫中,你需要清醒。 这是一个故事,走入神的殿堂,我仿佛仰望繁星和众神,却又审视大地和人性。 创世纪的过程中,eco以文字搭建的...
万分感谢malingcat女士的书评帮助我度过写论文的痛苦
评分读得好幸苦
评分妈的终于看完了,这绝对是我今年看得最慢的一本书
评分对中世纪宗教史了解不够的话,感到英文版真的很难读… 还夹杂大量意大利语和法语。William Weaver翻译很给力。PS:真精彩啊!要列为我最喜欢的小说TOP3了。处处闪耀着思想的火花。超喜欢关于laughter的那几段争论。
评分in the labyrinth of time and space, I cannot get a clue
