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 881 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 832 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 900 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 896 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 952 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 977 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 858 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 821 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 851 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 842 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1077 Views

Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 04:05:34 PM 908 Views
Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 853 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 875 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1030 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 907 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 833 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 844 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 802 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 909 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 883 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 886 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 832 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1145 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 873 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1090 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 870 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1099 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 884 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 952 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 441 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 871 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 783 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 949 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 903 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 942 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 866 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 855 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 851 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 858 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 822 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 843 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 887 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 945 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1002 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 865 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 900 Views
