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 1019 Views
Roughly 1-2 years - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 967 Views

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 1030 Views
Hence the "not Eco". - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 1104 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 961 Views
That's odd - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 985 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 974 Views
So's the Italian, more or less - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1205 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 994 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 1056 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 995 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 976 Views
I guess it'll be English then - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 953 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 1049 Views
Likely the first two - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 1009 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 1048 Views
Germans are odd, though! - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 954 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1290 Views
Interesting - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 994 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1254 Views
Might be that - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 997 Views
What are the American percentages, then? - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1258 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1107 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 494 Views
Same here - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 1038 Views
I much prefer the original. - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 910 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1089 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 1028 Views
Just seems more compact - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1071 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 1003 Views
True, there is that - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 986 Views

That's the cover I was trying to recall! - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 1017 Views

That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 972 Views

Yeah. - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1136 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 1005 Views
