I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM
I'm surprised because Eco had said he wasn't going to write any new novels.

I am going to wait for this to come out in English, though.


But that's an interesting article, with two people that seem to have had the point(s) of the novel fly over their heads.

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? Rebekah - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 993 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 939 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 1000 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 1001 Views

I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 1090 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 955 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 932 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 956 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 953 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1177 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 961 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 970 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1146 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 1025 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 961 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 947 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 920 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 1027 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 984 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 1022 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 927 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1257 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 970 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1230 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 974 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1230 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 985 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1070 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 485 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 1006 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 885 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1065 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 1001 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1044 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 970 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 957 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 973 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 986 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 943 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 949 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 983 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 1054 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1106 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 977 Views
