The name of the rose / Umberto Eco ; translated from the Italian by William Weaver.
In 1327, Brother William of Baskerville is sent to investigate a wealthy Italian abbey whose monks are suspected of heresy. When his mission is overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths patterned on the book of Revelation, Brother William turns detective, following the trail of a conspiracy that brings him face-to-face with the abbeys labyrinthine secrets, the subversive effects of laughter, and the medieval Inquisition.
