Umberto Eco cambio nuestra mirada sobre los libros: imprescindibles, pequenos, fragiles, a veces criminales, casi siempre salvadores. Un maestro que nos enseno a entrelazar la sabiduria y el juego con su estilo sagaz y ludico, con su asombrosa inventiva y certera lucidez. Irene Vallejo

En esta primera y brillante incursion de Umberto Eco en el mundo de la narrativa, que dio lugar a una manera de concebir la novela historica, el lector disfrutara de una trama apasionante y una admirable reconstruccion de una epoca especialmente conflictiva de la historia de Occidente.
