Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose"?
Q. I read this novel after attending a University lecture comparing three "high concept" literary novels to storytelling in the pulp-detective genre. But I never found out what the last line of the book meant... Its a phrase in Latin, possibly a quote from a medival author or manuscript. It is: "Stat Rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus" Anybody know what it meant AND how it connects to the story Eco told?

A. It means "And what is left of the rose is only its name..." The novel, The Name of The Rose by Umberto Eco ends with the phrase: "stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus." Eco explains this himself in Postcript to The Name of the Rose.

A. I read it about a year ago. It has much about italian nostalgia, you know, having to do with comic books and music. It is an appealing book since it deals a lot with memories and how we build them. In some passages it tends to be sort of boring, but in the edition I have they include some pictures so you know what he's talking about. It's a good book, specially when you have a looong time to read it.
