Medieval times, upheavals and insecurities, monasteries and travelling monks, sects proliferate and people have visions and wish to reform the established decrepit decay, ordinary people serve and suffer horrendous punishments for ordinary normal behaviour, people who would rather hide knowledge and let darkness prevail for sake of faith and obedience to authorities in all matters.

A portrayal of those times that are past, thankfully.

    My favorite book of all time. I love Umberto Eco style of writing.I read this 5 years ago when my friend lent me the book. The Name of the Rose is a Historical Whodunnit -a muder mystery set in an Italian monastery and the book is an excellent exposition of the scholastic method.
