Name of the Rose 7/23 @ new time: 5PM


Last week we saw the Terence Malick film: The New World predicated by a discussion and interest in Malick's most recent and somewhat controversial film: Tree of Life; see a preview of that film and a link to a review below.






The Name of the Rose is the first novel by Italian author Umberto Eco that you may want to check out at the Gardiner Library. It is a historical murder mystery set in an Italian monastery in the year 1327, an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. First published in Italian in 1980 under the title Il nome della rosa, it appeared in English in 1983, translated by William Weaver.
