…argue with her supporters, who can pointedly ask, "well, have you read it?" No, I have not. I tried and it was terrible. For great fiction with a healthy dose of philosophy, I'd recommend reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco instead.
肯定得是 Umberto Eco 的《玫瑰的名字》（The Name of the Rose）吧？当珍稀典籍被审查、被永远抹去，最终只在其他著作里留下些许捕风捉影的指涉和提及，那种抓心挠肝的失落感每次都让我欲罢不能。
The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco) surely? The tantalizing sense of loss as rare texts are censored and erased for ever, leaving as their only trace suggestive references and mentions in other works gets me every time.
我刚开始读 Umberto Eco 的处女作《玫瑰的名字》（The Name of the Rose）。到目前为止留给我的印象极好。这是一部以 14 世纪修道院为背景的谋杀悬疑小说，不过悬疑破案主要是用来探讨历史背景的借口……
I've begun reading The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco, his first novel. It's left a very good impression so far. It's a fourteenth century murder mystery, set in a monastery, where the mystery is mostly an excuse for exploring the historical…
……或者 Robertson Davies 的大部分作品，或者 Ursula K. Le Guin 比较优秀的小说（比如《地海》系列），或者 Carlos Ruiz Zafón 近期的小说（情节极其紧凑引人入胜），或者 Umberto Eco 的《玫瑰的名字》（The Name of the Rose），或者……如你从我行文的倾向所见，我更推崇后者。在我看来，所谓的‘博览群书’意味着大量阅读并且带着思考去读——而不是去啃某份特定的……

…still unknown to us, as they were lost. Reading (and writing my final thesis on on of his books) a lot from Umberto Eco showed me, what it means, that literary works are nodes in a network. Reading "The Name of the Rose" (and not just watching the movie) really drove home this point.

……由于失传，我们至今仍一无所知。阅读 Umberto Eco 的大量作品（并且以他的一本书写了我的毕业论文）让我明白了‘文学作品是网络中的节点’到底是什么意思。读《玫瑰的名字》（而不只是看电影）真的把这个观点讲透了。尤其是如果你懂一点历史或者‘侦探小说’这种流派的基本结构的话 ;-) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palimpsests:_Literature_in_the...…
