List Price: |
DescriptionAt a time when it feels odd for a movie to not feature zombies or vampires, genre movies often need a little something extra in the tank to register. The firmly post-Whedon supernatural comedy Dylan Dog: Dead of Night doesn't exactly blaze new trails, but some appealing performances and a nicely off-kilter delivery help it glide over most of the well-trod areas... |

Detective Pulp
Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose"?
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?
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.
"Since the publication of The Name of the Rose I have received a number of letters from readers who want to know the meaning of the final Latin hexameter, and why this hexameter inspired the book's title. I answer that the verse is from De contemptu mundi by Bernard of Morlay, a twelfth-century Benedictine, whose poem is a variation on the "ubi sunt" theme (most familiar in Villon's later "Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan"). But to the usual topos (the great of yesteryear, the once-famous cities, the lovely princesses: everything disappears into the void), Bernard adds that all these departed things leave (only, or at least) pure names behind them. I remember that Abelard used the example of the sentence "Nulla rosa est" to demonstrate how language can speak of both the nonexistent and the destroyed. And having said this, I leave the reader to arrive at his own conclusions."
