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 962 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 912 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 973 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 976 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 1040 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 1063 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 933 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 902 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 933 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 923 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 1154 Views

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 934 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 952 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 1120 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 1002 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 933 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 921 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 899 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 1002 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 952 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 1002 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 906 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1236 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 950 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1196 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 942 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1202 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 964 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 1040 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 473 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 981 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 862 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 1037 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 974 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 1021 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 942 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 935 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 941 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 959 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 922 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 922 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 962 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 1020 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 1075 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 948 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 978 Views
