The event will focus on Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose", set in 1327, where Brother William of Baskerville investigates heresy and a series of mysterious deaths in an Italian abbey. Participants will gather in The Ludski Bar at the Rio Cinema to discuss the book, and prior reading is encouraged but not mandatory.
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns to the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, and the empirical insights of Roger Bacon to find the killer. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey (“where the most interesting things happen at night”) armed with a wry sense of humor and a ferocious curiosity. Available from all good libraries and book shops. You don't have to have read it to join us - but it'll probably help. We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.
