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).

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 764 Views
Hence the "not Eco". - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 829 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 695 Views
That's odd - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 720 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 717 Views

There's an interesting article in English on the book... - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 775 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 696 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 716 Views
I guess it'll be English then - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 669 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 773 Views
Likely the first two - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 727 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 755 Views
Germans are odd, though! - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 697 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1028 Views

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 946 Views
Might be that - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 740 Views
What are the American percentages, then? - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 977 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 804 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 376 Views
Same here - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 737 Views
I much prefer the original. - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 653 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 823 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 778 Views
Just seems more compact - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 826 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 735 Views
True, there is that - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 717 Views

That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 715 Views

I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 729 Views
