움베르트 에코가 1980년 『Il nome della rosa』라는 제목을 달아 이탈리아판으로 출간한 이 책은 그 유명한『장미의 이름』의 영문판이다. 살인사건을 다룬 소설이긴 하지만, 단순한 추리소설이라기보다는 철학과 역사의 관점에서 "진리란 무엇인가"라는 질문에 대한 해답을 찾는 인문서에 가깝다는 평을 듣고 있다.
50세의 수도사 윌리엄이 베네딕트 수도원에서 일어난 의문의 죽음을 조사하기 위해 잠입하면서 이야기는 시작된다. 조사가 진행되면서 묵시록의 예언에 따라 연쇄적으로 수도사들이 죽어가는데... 중세 암흑시대의 암울한 분위기 속에서 진리 탐구의 희열와 인간 내면에 숨겨진 은밀한 본성을 탁월하게 표현하고 있는 역작이다. |

"The library is testimony to truth and to error," Jorge said.
"Undoubtedly Apuleius and Lucian were reputed to be magicians," William said. "But this fable, beneath the veil of its fictions, contains also a good moral, for it teaches how we pay for our errors, and furthermore, I believe that the story of the man transformed into an ass refers to the metamorphoses of the soul that falls into sin." "That may be," Jorge said. "But now I understand why, during that conversation of which I was told yesterday, Venantius was so interested in the problems of comedy; in fact, fables of this sort can also be considered kin to the comedies of the ancients. Both tell not of men who really exested, as tragedies do; on the contrary, as Isidore says, they are fiction; 'fabulas poetae a fando nominaverunt, quia non sunt res factae sed tantum loquendo fictae..." (중략) "Baths are a good thing," Jorge said, "and Aquinas himself advises them for dispelling sadness, which can be a bad passion when it is not addressed to an evil that can be dispelled through boldness. Baths restore the balance of the humors. Laughter shakes the body, distorts the features of the face, make man similar to the monkey." "Monkeys do not laugh; laughter is proper to man, it is a sign of his rationality," William said. ---pp.130-131 |
