From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome. Legolas Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:10:02 PM
Apparently it's set in the nineteenth century and deals with topics like the Commune of Paris, the Protocols of Zion, the free-masons, satanism, the unification of Italy, the Dreyfus case and, one would assume, the cemetery of Prague. :P And according to that blurb, it's all based on real events, though they would say that. Still, I'll definitely be reading this at some point (and equally definitely not in Italian, not Eco).

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 880 Views
Roughly 1-2 years - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 831 Views

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 894 Views
Hence the "not Eco". - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 950 Views

But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know. - 17/11/2010 02:43:06 AM 819 Views
That's odd - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 850 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 841 Views
So's the Italian, more or less - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1076 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 852 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 906 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 832 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 843 Views
I guess it'll be English then - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 801 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 908 Views
Likely the first two - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 881 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 885 Views
Germans are odd, though! - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 831 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1143 Views

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1089 Views
Might be that - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 868 Views
What are the American percentages, then? - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1098 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 950 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 440 Views
Same here - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 870 Views
I much prefer the original. - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 782 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 948 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 901 Views
Just seems more compact - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 941 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 865 Views
True, there is that - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 854 Views

That's the cover I was trying to recall! - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 857 Views

That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 841 Views

I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 864 Views
