THE NAME OF THE ROSE by Umberto Eco

Our story begins with Williams of Baskerville and his pupil Adso’s arrival to a Benedictine monastery. William has been entrust to organise a meeting, in which an heresy must be discussed. Suddenly a series of terrible murders endangers the reunion. William and Adso, breaking the abbey rules, try to solve the mystery. Some days are necessary for them to follow the track of a poisoned book, carefully looked after by the ex-librarian Jorge of Burgos. 

The most curious characters have escaped from the author’s mind: William of Baskerville, whose surname refers to a Sherlock Holmes’ novel: The Hound of the Baskervilles, is an English Franciscan monk famous for his intelligence; Adso, who helps William to find the assassin, is the narrator and a Benedictine novice, child of a nobleman; Jorge of Burgos, is a blind old monk, venerated and feared by the other ones. 

I read this novel many years ago and I still like it. Umberto Eco, the author, depicts the historical moment perfectly, from the outside to the inside, that is to say, such as physical descriptions, as the way of thinking. Apart from its historical accuracy, The Name of the Rose catches de reader form the first moment. A gripping novel as any, it reveals a complicated plot slowly but constantly. Moreover, some twits make the reader hungry for the pages of this black novel, which every mystery novel lover should read.
