Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM
Will order on Friday. Just need to brush up on Italian, that's all.


Link is to my blog post, which contains cover art for both the Italian and Spanish editions.

Which do you like better of the two?

How long does it take for his books to be translated into English? Rebekah - 16/11/2010 10:54:10 PM 795 Views
Roughly 1-2 years Larry - 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. Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:10:02 PM 810 Views
That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco Larry - 16/11/2010 11:18:38 PM 812 Views
Hence the "not Eco". Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:33:56 PM 871 Views
I like challenges Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:00 PM 892 Views
Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:06:58 AM 774 Views
But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:43:06 AM 739 Views
That's odd Larry - 17/11/2010 03:34:20 AM 768 Views
Medieval Latin is easy, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 06:09:38 AM 766 Views
So's the Italian, more or less Larry - 17/11/2010 04:31:02 PM 986 Views

Re: Hence the "not Eco". Camilla - 17/11/2010 04:05:34 PM 821 Views
Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent. Jacob - 17/11/2010 03:09:52 PM 769 Views
True, but I'm much more familiar with the language than I think most here realize Larry - 17/11/2010 04:29:45 PM 794 Views
I was more speaking in general than to you specifically. Jacob - 18/11/2010 07:16:37 PM 946 Views
There's an interesting article in English on the book... Tom - 16/11/2010 11:11:49 PM 823 Views
I'm equally surprised you won't be reading it in the original Larry - 16/11/2010 11:17:47 PM 740 Views
Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English. Tom - 17/11/2010 01:34:51 AM 762 Views
I guess it'll be English then Larry - 17/11/2010 01:36:45 AM 717 Views
I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books? Tom - 17/11/2010 05:05:08 AM 824 Views
Likely the first two Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:23 PM 790 Views
Why doesn't that stop the Germans, then? Tom - 17/11/2010 04:50:35 PM 801 Views
Germans are odd, though! Larry - 17/11/2010 04:53:13 PM 745 Views
VAT is fairly modest on books, actually. Legolas - 17/11/2010 05:50:51 PM 1071 Views
Interesting Larry - 17/11/2010 09:43:36 PM 788 Views
It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do. Tom - 18/11/2010 01:44:21 AM 1000 Views
Might be that Larry - 18/11/2010 01:54:14 AM 783 Views
What are the American percentages, then? Legolas - 18/11/2010 02:48:08 PM 1024 Views
Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more. Ghavrel - 18/11/2010 10:52:24 PM 804 Views
Oh, and the Spanish translation is already availabe, I see Larry - 16/11/2010 11:49:54 PM 862 Views
I prefer the original. Like the stairs better than the dark doorway. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 12:16:11 AM 398 Views
Same here Larry - 17/11/2010 12:19:04 AM 786 Views
I much prefer the original. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 02:52:30 AM 700 Views
I wonder if it might be published as Prague Cemetery Larry - 17/11/2010 03:36:32 AM 865 Views
Why do you think that, out of curiosity? Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 04:27:55 AM 822 Views
Just seems more compact Larry - 17/11/2010 04:32:40 AM 864 Views
Eco's own history would seem to make that unlikely. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:11:42 AM 784 Views
True, there is that Larry - 17/11/2010 04:33:45 PM 762 Views
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:04:32 AM 767 Views
That's the cover I was trying to recall! Larry - 17/11/2010 01:22:35 AM 760 Views
Re: That's the cover I was trying to recall! Camilla - 17/11/2010 01:24:10 AM 741 Views
That was to fill out 25 2009 releases, I think Larry - 17/11/2010 01:27:51 AM 763 Views

Foucault's Pendulum Larry - 17/11/2010 03:33:09 AM 793 Views
I am one of those Baudolino haters out there. Tom - 17/11/2010 05:08:13 AM 858 Views
Yeah. Kuke - 17/11/2010 12:28:39 PM 850 Views
I love the weird and grotesque in literature, though Larry - 17/11/2010 04:27:21 PM 776 Views
Re: I'll read Foucault's Pendulum, then. Gaps - 17/11/2010 07:01:09 PM 790 Views
