Book "Notes on the Pages of the Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco

Three years after the publication of The Name of the Rose, in 1983, Umberto Eco, in response to letters received from readers, published the book Notes on the Pages of The Name of the Rose, a highly informative guide by an ironic paradoxist, which, revealing the cuisine of a modern-day alchemist, not only clarifies the conceptual aspects of the work that has received a great response, but also formulates the essential features of the postmodernist novel and postmodernism in general.
