Detailed explanation-1: -The Name of the Rose, Italian Il nome della rosa, novel by Italian writer Umberto Eco, published in Italian in 1980. Although the work stands on its own as a murder mystery, it is more accurately seen as a questioning of the meaning of “truth” from theological, philosophical, scholarly, and historical perspectives.
Detailed explanation-2: -In fact, Eco has stated that his intention was to find a “totally neutral title". In one version of the story, when he had finished writing the novel, Eco hurriedly suggested some ten names for it and asked a few of his friends to choose one. They chose The Name of the Rose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Umberto Eco was an Italian philosopher, essayist, and semiotician who turned to novel writing with his 1980 work, The Name of the Rose. Eco subsequently wrote several more novels, some of which, including The Prague Cemetery, became international best sellers.
