Written with characteristic wit and intellectual rigour, Eco uncovers the philosophical and semiotic underpinnings of his narrative, detailing the choices behind character, setting, and symbol. He argues that postmodern fiction can engage seriously with history and ideas without sacrificing pleasure or accessibility, illustrating how The Name of the Rose was built upon layers of intertextual reference, medieval scholarship, and labyrinthine logic. This compact yet richly rewarding essay is an indispensable companion to one of the twentieth century's most beloved novels, illuminating the craft of a master storyteller while standing brilliantly on its own as a meditation on the nature of writing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956290662619,"sku":"2026100008469-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/10af3556-09a2-4547-bd84-8f640cbd70af.png?v=1783499390","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008469-secondhand-postscript-to-the-name-of-the-rose","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
