Book Reviews of The Name of the Rose (Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics)
Book Review: 5 stars is not enough for this extraordinaire book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what edition some reviewers were reading, but my spanish edition (I'm from México) comes with the translation of latin passages.
Reading this book made me feel more educated, well read and intellectual, because it made me study and investigate more about medieval history and Latin. Besides, I don't think you have to learn latin to understand the book (The latin phrases don't add much to the story or plot). It's full of mistery, and medieval history and that's what I liked about it. Why does it always have to be the Americans who complain about other languages?? It happened with Inglourious Basterds and Pan's Labyrinth... I just don't get it. This is not a complicated book at all, I think Foucault's Pendulum was complicated. This one was a pleasurable reading. I can't wait to read the rest of Eco's books.
