The Name of the Rose

The graphic adaptation of Umberto Eco's main masterpiece — the work of a classic of Italian graphics, the great contemporary artist Milo Manara. The plot of «The Name of the Rose» is well known: the end of November 1327, the Franciscan monk William of Baskerville and his young apprentice, Adso of Melk, investigate mysterious deaths in a secluded Benedictine monastery. An engaging detective story, a large-scale historical chronicle, and finally, a complex postmodern novel: in this new incarnation of one of the most famous books in the world, Eco's heroes come to life and present themselves to us in a different light.
