The name of the rose

Eco's worldwide bestseller word for word. A murder shakes the walls of the venerable, world-famous Benedictine monastery. Brother William from distant Baskerville is tasked by the abbot with discreetly solving the crime. But hardly has William begun his investigation in the catacombs when the second monk is found dead. There are literary works that are written with such precision, intelligence, and suspense that one does not want to miss a single word. Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" is such a book. One wants to hear every detail as William of Baskerville wanders through the corridors of the abbey with his assistant. One wants to listen to his furious confrontation with the Dominicans and also to the madness in the voice of the old librarian Jorge. Gert Heidenreich expertly guides the listener through this historical thriller, where every syllable and every emphasis matters.
