Umberto Eco\'s The Name of the Rose is a brilliant mystery set in a fictitious medieval monastery.
Inspired by pleas from friends and strangers, the authors, each trained in Classics, undertook to translate and explain the Lat.
The Key makes each reading fuller and more meaningful by helping the interested reader not merely to read but also to understand Eco\'s masterful work.
The text is rich with literary, historical, and theoretical references that make it eminently re-readable.
