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.
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...
评分欲望与书的迷宫 赵松 博尔赫斯之后,轻率地谈论书籍所构建的迷宫,容易被视为滥调。要想在这方面不陷入博尔赫斯的阴影,需要比较大的才能。一九八零年,翁贝托-埃科完成了《玫瑰的名字》,在里面他虚构了一座迷宫式图书馆,有复杂的路径、无数珍本古籍、神秘的镜子,还有难解的...
评分沈萼梅/文 意大利当代著名作家翁贝托·埃科的成名作《玫瑰的名字》的中译本终于由上海译文出版社出版了。我接到样书后,拿出三十年前(1980年)出版的、纸张业已发黄的原著感慨万千。全书共36万字,字字句句都令我回想起翻译此书所走过的历程…… 当初我是勉强承担下《玫...

评分美国的朋友打来电话,告之意大利人昂贝尔托·埃科(Umberto Eco, 1932- )的第四部长篇小说Baudolino的英文即将上市,已经替我在亚马逊网站预订了一本。闻言欣欣然,正逢长夏无事,先把《玫瑰之名》找出来看第N遍。说起来中国也出了不少和埃科有关的书了,光是《玫瑰之...
最厉害的宗教小说呀!看了电影就更为惊讶!
评分作者搭起一个侦探小说的架子,装进一本历史小说,一本探讨存在、真理、人性的哲学小说,一个人物结构语言皆精彩纷呈的文本舞台。变态啊,过瘾啊!读者过瘾,作者写起来更是爽到不能自拔吧。
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。
评分作者描述的修道院真實得可以觸摸.這絕對是我看過最出色其中一本推理小說
