Apocalyptic murders in a European Benedictine monastery of the fourteenth century

"The Name of the Rose" is a book with a riddle. At the beginning of the XIV century, shortly after Dante composed the Divine Comedy, in the heart of Europe, in a Benedictine monastery, the murdered are found. Blood is pouring, the spheres of heaven are opening. A series of crimes reproduces not an English number, but the heralds of the Apocalypse. The detective, of course, is an Englishman. He resembles Sherlock Holmes, and his young student is Dr. Watson. In the rigid construction of the detective there is a place for bright facts of the history of the Middle Ages, and roll calls with the history of the twentieth century, and stories about religious conflicts and riots, and a touching story about love, and a lot of new riddles that we, readers, are in a hurry to solve, but the cunning author invariably beats us... Right up to the paradoxical and creepy ending.
