That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM
Apparently it's set in the nineteenth century and deals with topics like the Commune of Paris, the Protocols of Zion, the free-masons, satanism, the unification of Italy, the Dreyfus case and, one would assume, the cemetery of Prague. :P And according to that blurb, it's all based on real events, though they would say that. Still, I'll definitely be reading this at some point (and equally definitely not in Italian, not Eco).


C'mon, Italian isn't THAT much different from Spanish (or Portuguese) ;)

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 794 Views
Roughly 1-2 years - 16/11/2010 11:00:59 PM 737 Views
From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome. - 16/11/2010 11:10:02 PM 809 Views

But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know. - 17/11/2010 02:43:06 AM 737 Views
That's odd - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 767 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 764 Views
So's the Italian, more or less - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 984 Views

There's an interesting article in English on the book... - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 822 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 739 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 762 Views
I guess it'll be English then - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 716 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 821 Views
Likely the first two - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 788 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 799 Views
Germans are odd, though! - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 745 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1070 Views

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 999 Views
Might be that - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 782 Views
What are the American percentages, then? - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1023 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 861 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 397 Views

I much prefer the original. - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 698 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 864 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 822 Views
Just seems more compact - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 863 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 783 Views
True, there is that - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 762 Views

That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 762 Views
