Eco combines the intuition of contemporary thrillers with the philosophical exposition of Eliot's plays, the depth of Conrad's characters and Dickens' imagination. He also filled the book with many accurate historical details, and someone even asked me to read it as a medieval background as part of my medieval literature course at Oxford University.
I think the film of this book is a rich and enlightening film, fascinating and gripping, which keeps you reading until the end-but far less than the book itself (which is not surprising considering its length).
Equally important, The Name of a Rose is one of the earliest postmodern novels, and it can also be said to be the greatest novel. In the introduction, Eco actively hinted at this point, pointing out that the period of modernism has finally ended, allowing people like him to write novels purely for enjoyment, not for any philosophical, ideological or political purposes.
As one book reviewer wrote, "This is a comprehensive book."
My other options are as follows:
Happy box, John? Masefield
Earthsea wizard, Ursula? k？ Yue Jin
The Hobbit, J.R. Tolkien
The lion, the witch and the wardrobe, CS Lewis
Wind in the Willows, Kenneth? Graeme
You may notice that these are all children's novels, and they are all (except Happy Box, which is the first item in the series and a single book). They are examples of jazz solos and famous artists. They have no foundation and don't owe anyone anything. It's all fantasy.
In fact, I can classify Eco's books into one category, which illustrates this point. He writes in the real world, but he also creates the same happiness as the created world. His writing is naturalistic, but it has the same depth as non-naturalistic writers. He described an unpleasant historical period and brought some very unpleasant consequences. However, it still left me with the same joy as the other five listed below.
