Hollywood Detectives. "The Name of the Rose"

Más información sobre el libro

Umberto Eco's encounter with a book in 1968 inspired his bestselling novel, which, upon its 1980 release, revolutionized the literary landscape. It blends elements of detective fiction, philosophy, and historical narrative, contributing to the emergence of a new genre: the historical crime novel. This genre features intricate plots set in various historical eras, often with a brilliant detective and an apprentice learning the art of deduction. The title "Name of the Rose" suggests a rich historical context, further emphasized by its film adaptation, which serves as a palimpsest of Eco's original work.
