The Name of the Rose: including Postscript to the Name of the Rose

Narrated by a young benedictine monk, Adso of Melk, Umberto Eco pulls together a remarkably complete tale of disturbing and pivotal occurences at a rich Abbey in the 1300s. Monks have been murdered just as a great meeting to determine the very powers of the pope and the legitimacy of the Franciscan movement to poverty is about to begin. Enter one William of Baskerville, an ex-inquisitor champion of logic and reason who resembles a Sherlock Holmes, but more. All of this chaos falls now on his shoulders to calmly search through and eliminate the wrong arriving cleanly at what could only be the Right.
