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 995 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 941 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 1002 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 1002 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 1079 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 1091 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 957 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 934 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 957 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 954 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1179 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 962 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 971 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1147 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 1026 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 962 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 949 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 921 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 1028 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 985 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 1024 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 928 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1258 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 972 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1231 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 975 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1232 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 987 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1072 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 1008 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 887 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1066 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 1003 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1046 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 972 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 959 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 975 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 988 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 944 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 951 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 985 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 1056 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1107 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 978 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 1009 Views
