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...
评分跟热销的《达芬奇密码》一样,同样是符号学用做推理,而出自意大利宗教符号学学术权威之手的这部著作,无论在宗教内涵、推理深度、学术意蕴,各方面,超过《达芬奇密码》都不止一点点。 先看过同名电影,再来啃书本,的确要轻松很多。预备用一个月的时间慢慢啃这本书。
评分此书不仅挑战推理能力,更挑战的是宗教学和哲学知识,极其混乱的中古欧洲基督教呀,没有维基百科能读懂此书的人那绝对是学者水平的。 1.”耶稣笑了吗?“从来没想过这个问题,各个福音书里的确是没有提到耶稣笑过这样一件事情。那么耶稣喜欢笑吗?中古欧洲的基督教传道士真是...
评分说实话,一个发生在七天里的侦探故事,通常只用一个小小的短篇即可写得精采、紧张、惊险、有趣,但埃科却用了五百多页来写,如果用物理学的“密度”概念来比喻一下,那这本书就象一个塞满了铁砂的皮袋。那么他到底在这里面都塞了什么使这本书象如此沉甸甸的呢?下面就是他塞进...
