1. Overview & Significance

- Published: 1980 (Italian), 1983 (English translation by William Weaver).
- Genre: Historical mystery, postmodern novel, semiotic thriller, philosophical allegory.
- Setting: November 1327, a Benedictine monastery in the Apennines of Northern Italy.
- Why it matters: A bestseller that bridges high intellectualism and popular fiction. It deconstructs the detective genre while immersing readers in medieval thought, heresy, and library lore.
Q: Is the movie adaptation included in the EPUB? A: No. The 1986 film starring Sean Connery, while iconic, changes the ending and omits many philosophical dialogues. The EPUB contains only the original text.
Real figures: William of Ockham (nominalist philosopher), Marsilius of Padua, Bernardo Gui (inquisitor). El nombre de la rosa - Umberto Eco.epub

Literary Allusions : Characters like William of Baskerville (referencing Sherlock Holmes William of Ockham ) and Jorge of Burgos (referencing Jorge Luis Borges ) serve as intellectual Easter eggs. 3.
