ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco tells the story of William of Baskerville, a Franciscan friar, and his young novice Adso of Melk, who arrive at a wealthy Italian monastery in the year 1327. Their initial mission is to attend a debate, but their purpose shifts when a mysterious death occurs. At the abbot's request, William begins to investigate the death, which is followed by a series of other unexplained fatalities within the secluded abbey. The investigation quickly centers on the monastery's vast and labyrinthine library, a repository of forbidden knowledge. As William and Adso navigate the secrets of the library and the tensions among the monastic community, they uncover a dangerous plot involving heresy, forbidden texts, and the power of ideas. The novel delves into themes of intellectual inquiry versus dogmatic faith, the suppression of knowledge, and the interpretation of sacred texts.
