I am adoring that cover. And Eco is almost always wonderful.


I'd bet on a late 2011/early 2012 release, since this only came out in Italian last month, I believe.

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? Rebekah - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 945 Views

From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome. Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:10:02 PM 961 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 957 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 1024 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 1047 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 918 Views
But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:43:06 AM 888 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 918 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 910 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1139 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 918 Views
True, but I'm much more familiar with the language than I think most here realize Larry - 17/11/2010 04:29:45 PM 936 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1102 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 986 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 915 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. Tom - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 905 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 883 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? Tom - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 985 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 939 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 986 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 890 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1216 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 934 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1183 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 925 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1184 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 947 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1023 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 467 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 958 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 846 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1013 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 963 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1004 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 927 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 921 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 926 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 941 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 904 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 906 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 947 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 1004 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1058 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 927 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 963 Views
