While Brother William of Baskerville is investigating accusations of heresy at a wealthy abbey, his inquiries are disrupted by a series of bizarre deaths. Turning his practiced detective skills to finding the killer, he relies on logic (Aristotle), theology (Thomas Aquinas), empirical insights (Roger Bacon), and his own wry humor and ferocious curiosity. With the aid of his young apprentice, William scours the abbey, from its stables to the labyrinthine library, piecing together evidence, and deciphering cryptic symbols and coded manuscripts to uncover the truth about this place where \"the most interesting things happen at night.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1980, \u003ci\u003eThe Name of the Rose\u003c\/i\u003e became an international sensation, beguiling readers around the world with its mix of history, humor, and intellectual heft.
