The Name of The Rose has been a favorite of mine for many years I have explored its wealth of knowledge repeatedly and always discover something new. Thank you.

The very same for me. I read it every year, every Spring, and there's always something more to unravel and to uncover, within its pages..

This was excellent! I miss the fact that he's not walking around New York, Paris or somewhere in Italy (anymore) pondering the origins of his next book or essay....or just playing a medieval tune on a recorder. But that's life and death....treasure it while you can. I highly treasured watching this, by the way. Thanks for posting!

​@@user-lt6nc2qn1b - From a Star Trek novel titled "The Final Reflection" by John M. Ford. A most excellent "cloak & dagger" read, even if you're not a Trekkie ... Excerpt; "Asked a Starfleet officer what his name was. 'Marks' he replied ... Told him he knew many Klingons named 'Marks' ... and all of them were Marines. And that's when the fight started."

This is my favorite work by Eco. The creativity here is unsurpassed. But, I'm a sucker for adventure of any kind, especially one on the high seas.

O man, I've been searching for this for years!! Thank you so much for uploading!!!!

Happy you found it! ;)

Thank you for providing this film (I have mostly listened to Eco speak, this shows a different side). 2:10 Wonder if that new novel is The Prague Cemetery and Simona is trying convince Eco to change the main character's name.

Very good author, the way he wrote The Name Of The Rose, did you know it has a Canadian connection, it was said Eco got the idea of the abbey from the Robarts Library in Toronto, Canada, while he stayed there temporily.

Are there other documentaries of this caliber on Umberto Eco?

What a fantastic documentary. I absolutely love this so much.

What a fascinating man - extraordinarily clever - when was this film shot?

1994/1995, a few months after the publication of his novel "L'isola del giorno prima" (english translation _The Island of the Day Before_ ), published in Italy in 1994

Three fingers holding a pen.aches.Its ecos brilliance

Eco must've loved the Internet. It's that CD-ROM to the 10th power

lol whoever was the audio editor on this thing was really doing over time

Beautiful documentary, thanks a million

Thanks🌞

I love this so much!

Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

This was great.

One is as alone in the market square as the main street. The problem of lonliness isn't due to circumstances, but to identification with the separate self. We will be lonely until we recognize we are one.

Are there other documentaries like this?

Are there other such Eco documentaries?

It is as though he is a real life Robert Langdon! I suppose only Dan Brown would know if that character honours Umberto. And yes this is a beautiful documentary, he is very careful with his speech wherein this film is slightly more brazen. What A Very Fortunate Life.

When was this produced?

Any idea what he piece of music he was playing at the end?

That’s a stockhausen song at the beginning right? I

Who is here after the interview class 12😂

You know how they ask you who you would talk to if you could go anywhere in time, and talk with any famous person. Eco would be a good choice.

Non esiste in italiano, è un documentario tedesco del 1995 del giornalista/divulgatore Gero von Boehm che è stato distribuito anche in una versione internazionale in inglese, questa, ma non in italiano

I remember my uncle telling me to keep away from the occult, 'it'll send y' crackers' he used to say, which it duly did. Now I know my uncle was right, which you might say I've learned something, that religion of any kind is a form of high functioning schizophrenia, best not delved into too much, But I could have saved a lot of pain and suffering and just listened to the sage words of my uncle. It seems some people are just instinctively wise, and others have to go through a major crisis to acquire wisdom, In the end, wisdom is just not over-thinking things, understanding the simple lessons in life. That what you might think are boring old platitudes actually contain simple but powerful truths. And that's what I get from Umberto Eco, the real truths are not mysterious or complicated - they're as simple as ABC, a child could understand.them. But our arrogance, our pride, our ego - blinds us to the truths contained within platitudes. But what is a platitude but a truth that's lasted for centuries. The great writers and philosophers reveal the platitude, as if seeing it for the first time. E.g. power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely - we all know it, we've heard it a million times, we all know it's true - but we still fail to follow its simple lesson.

Is there a Greek copy of The Name of The Rose?
