Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM
Will order on Friday. Just need to brush up on Italian, that's all.


Link is to my blog post, which contains cover art for both the Italian and Spanish editions.

Which do you like better of the two?

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? Rebekah - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 1019 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 968 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 1029 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 1030 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 1105 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 1121 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 991 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 962 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 986 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 974 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1206 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 995 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 996 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1180 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 1057 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 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. Tom - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 977 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 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? Tom - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 1050 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 1010 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 1049 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 954 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1291 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 994 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1255 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 997 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1258 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 1022 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1109 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 494 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 1039 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 910 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1089 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 1029 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1071 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 1004 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 986 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 1008 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 1018 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 973 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 973 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 1015 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 1081 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1136 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 1006 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 1042 Views
