What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Trent'anni dopo "Il nome della rosa" Umberto Eco torna in libreria con un nuovo romanzo di ambientazione storica. Lungo il XIX secolo, tra Torino, Palermo e Parigi, troviamo una satanista isterica, un abate che muore due volte, alcuni cadaveri in una fogna parigina, un garibaldino che si chiamava Ippolito Nievo, il falso bordereau di Dreyfus per l'ambasciata tedesca, la crescita di quella falsificazione nota come "I protocolli dei Savi Anziani di Sion", che ispirerà a Hitler i campi di sterminio, gesuiti che tramano contro i massoni, massoni, carbonari e mazziniani che strangolano i preti con le loro stesse budella, un Garibaldi artritico dalle gambe storte, i piani dei servizi segreti piemontesi, francesi, prussiani e russi, le stragi nella Parigi della Comune, orrendi ritrovi per criminali che tra i fumi dell'assenzio pianificano esplosioni e rivolte di piazza, falsi notai, testamenti mendaci, confraternite diaboliche e messe nere. Ottimo materiale per un romanzo d'appendice di stile ottocentesco, tra l'altro illustrato come i feuilletons di quel tempo. Un particolare: eccetto il protagonista, tutti i personaggi di questo romanzo sono realmente esistiti e hanno fatto quello che hanno fatto. E anche il protagonista fa cose che sono state veramente fatte, tranne che ne fa molte, che probabilmente hanno avuto autori diversi. Accade però che, tra servizi segreti, agenti doppi, ufficiali felloni ed ecclesiastici peccatori, l'unico personaggio inventato di questa storia sia il più vero di tutti.
