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.
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...
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...
评分一句话先评论一下艾柯的书,个人感觉不如《波多里诺》,可能是第一篇小说的关系,艾柯在书里太炫知识了,着严重影响了阅读小说的流畅性。所以说,尽管艾柯在学识上比丹布朗牛逼多了,但是他的小说卖的不如丹布朗的好。 好了,来说那些乱七八糟的宗教派别。不要去百度那些派别...
评分一本2010年读到今天的书,一直没有读完,最近又翻出来翻了一会,觉得读不完应该不是我的问题。因为不懂意大利文,找的是英译本。凭我的经验来看,英译本要更准确。但是还是那句话,因为不懂意大利文,不排除有中译本准确而英译本出错的地方,如果有我出错的地方,请懂原文的纠...
评分最近和好几个朋友说起《玫瑰》,听到的几乎都是众口一词的抱怨——这本书好难读啊。所谓的难读,并不是说书不好,毋宁说太正统了,和事先想象的形态相差甚远。其实,论布局、解迷难度,推理小说中胜过玫瑰的大有人在,论啃理论艰辛,京极夏彦、岛田庄司的大作读起来费脑其实也...
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。
评分感觉好像得出了什么不得了的结论…… 结尾好sad :'(
