À propos de cet audio
The international best seller! A masterful gothic thriller set against the turbulence of medieval Italy.
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. But his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths that take place in seven days and nights of apocalyptic terror.
Brother William turns detective, and a uniquely deft one at that. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon - all sharpened to a glistening edge by his wry humor and ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey where "the most interesting things happen at night".
As Brother William goes about unraveling the mystery of what happens at the abbey by day and by night, listeners step into a brilliant re-creation of the 14th century, with its dark superstitions and wild prejudices, its hidden passions and sordid intrigues. Virtuoso storyteller Umberto Eco conjures up a gloriously rich portrait of this world with such grace, ease, wit, and love that you will become utterly intoxicated with the place and time.

Disgusting perspective of the Medieval church
Gothic literature seems not to be my cup of tea but this listen was worth finishing

For students of medieval history and religion
This book sold very well, but I can't imagine that all buyers finished reading it. It is an extremely detailed slog through the religious and philosophical controversies of the age, draped over a thin murder mystery which is supposed to hold your interest. Be prepared for interminable speeches over arcane philosophical/religious controversies. As an audible heard thru my exercise walks it was bearable. Do investigate whether this book is for you.

This Fransican brother recommends it!
One of the best books I've ever listened to. the accuracy to the people times places philosophies and spiritualities is unparalleled in my reading. I studied this era in my undergrad and I am a Franciscan brother. I recommend this book.

An amazingly intricate book (about books about boo
I first listened to the audio book 20 years ago. It was a different narrator, and I listened to it multiple times. Sadly, audible did not carry that version, which was what I thought I was purchasing (it was listed as being by the other narrator and was switched upon purchase).
So I listened to this version. It was good. I disagreed with some of the Latin pronounciations, but otherwise I enjoyed it.
The story itself is worth listening to many times over. This book is almost better read to you, then read yourself, as it tends to wax eloquent with many lists.

better off reading it
This was agony and I could not finish. I read this once in high school and I didn't hate it, I just wished there were translations or footnotes. I still wish that. I still didn't hate it, but wow, the experience of listening to this verbose behemoth is way different from reading it. It really highlights just how much talk/philosophy and how little action there is. I listened at 2.5 speed. It was still a painful marathon.
It's a classic for a reason, but not for its mystery plot.

Watch the movie!!
This is one of those rare occasions where I think the movie is superior to the book. Besides, I liked the ending in the movie a heck of a lot better than the ending in the book.
Umberto Eco has got to be one of the most verbose authors I've ever encountered. Characters spout endless diatribes, lists and enumerations, which frankly get overwhelming and boring on more than one occasion. In addition, Latin and some German passages are strewn throughout.
The narrator did a superb job for the most part, but butchered the German passages beyond recognition.
It was a good thing that I decided to listen to the audio book - I would NEVER have made it through the original written version!

Great book, fantastic delivery
A great book with fantastic delivery.
I noticed someone warning potential listeners about the arcane theological discussions in it.
For me, it was by far the most fascinating part.
The book is highly recommended, I will definitely get more from the author.
