Set within a 14th-century Italian monastery, Umberto Eco’s debut novel follows the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville as he investigates a series of mysterious deaths. The narrative serves as a complex synthesis of semiotic theory, biblical analysis, and medieval philosophy, challenging the reader to decode the labyrinthine secrets hidden within the abbey's forbidden library.
