Book Description
Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose is a brilliant mystery set in a fictitious medieval monastery. The text is rich with literary, historical, and theoretical references that make it eminently re-readable. The Key makes each reading fuller and more meaningful by helping the interested reader not merely to read but also to understand Eco's masterful work. Inspired by pleas from friends and strangers, the authors, each trained in Classics, undertook to translate and explain the Latin phrases that pepper the story. They have produced an approachable, informative guide to the book and its setting--the middle ages. The Key includes an introduction to the book, the middle ages, Umberto Eco, and philosophical and literary theories; a useful chronology; and reference notes to historical people and events.
The clear explanations of the historical setting and players will be useful to anyone interested in a general introduction to medieval history.

The Key to the Name of the Rose.......2003-06-18
After reading The Name of the Rose with few helps, discovering this book was quite wonderful. It goes into adaquate detail with the historical background, and I found the translations to be good and very helpful. A must for those trying the novel for the first time or for those who felt the lack of endnotes frustrating. A wonderful suppplement.
The Key to "The Name of the Rose".......2002-09-12
The Key to "The Name of the Rose" by Adele J. Haft, Jane G. White, and Robert J. White is a wonderful little book. When was the last time you used your Latin that you had in High School? You say, you never had Latin... well how do you expect to solve the clues that Brother William of Baskerville in "The Name of the Rose" gets.
Well, the answer is in this little tome as it includes translations of all of the Non-English passages making you as "smart" as Brother William. This book furthers your experience when reading "The Name of the Rose" as you now can decode the juicy clues. Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" is about crimes in a medieval abbey and the obsession of it monks with heresies, apocalyptic visions, and forbidden knowledge.
This "Key" is a delightful guide to the phrases and bizarre characters and has mirthful anecdotes that you're sure to enjoy and you'll solve the mystery of the seven deaths as fast as Brother William and enjoy the intrigue in doing so.
excellent resource for artists.......2002-03-20
i am hoping to do an intricate performance art piece based on the novel "the name of the rose;" however, many of the lush details and layers were lost on me, because i am not a historian or a scholar well-versed in semiotics... the task is still daunting, but i feel more confident having this "hint book" to fill me in on the background information. it renders the novel much more accessible to a lay person, and makes the story even MORE fascinating than it already is. i suggest that anyone reading "the name of the rose" should have a copy of this to help them along... also, there is a text that does this same task for dante's "divine comedy" (dante has a large influence on the novel, so reading dante will help the reader to understand the apocolyptic attitudes of the characters). joseph gallagher wrote "a modern reader's guide to dante's 'the divine comedy'" which you may also find helpful.
A must-have for Name of the Rose neophytes.......2001-08-06
I'm enjoying Umberto Eco's NAME OF THE ROSE, but I don't understand so much as a tenth of the Latin. Before I reached page 200, I came to the sinking conclusion that I was missing out on something. I checked KEY TO NAME OF THE ROSE out at my local library, but soon realized that I needed to own my own copy to keep beside my copy of NAME OF THE ROSE. This book is a God-send for those NAME OF THE ROSE fans like me who lack a reading knowledge of Latin. Having other scholars' comments at hand really helps. If you're intrigued by NAME OF THE ROSE, but just don't get it, buy this book!
A very helpful companion volume.......1999-11-10
This is a very good guide to The Name of the Rose. Not perfect, but good. The non-English translations are very helpful, and beat sitting next to a Latin dictionary. The biographical information for historical characters is very good too. My only beef about this is that it doesn't address the historical backdrop of the novel well enough: the Renaissance of the previous century, the conflicts in the Church at the time, and the looming disasters of the 14th century between the time the novel takes place and the time the narrator lays the tale down. Get this volume if you're going to read the book. But don't rely strictly on this.

"As soon as you cross the threshold, you notice the smell of old paper." The Central Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths is the setting for All the Names, Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese author José Saramago's seventh novel to be translated into English. The names in question are those of every man, woman, and child ever born, married, or buried in the unnamed city where the Registry is located, and are the special province of Senhor José who is employed there as a clerk. Over the centuries, the paper trail in this hopelessly arcane bureaucracy has grown so monumental, so disorganized that
one poor researcher became lost in the labyrinthine catacombs of the archive of the dead, having come to the Central Registry in order to carry out some genealogical research he had been commissioned to undertake. He was discovered, almost miraculously, after a week, starving, thirsty, exhausted, delirious, having survived thanks to the desperate measure of ingesting enormous quantities of old documents that neither lingered in the stomach nor nourished, since they melted in the mouth without requiring any chewing.
The nondescript Senhor José labors long and thanklessly among the archives; his is a tepid, lonely life with only one small hobby to leaven his leisure hours: he collects "news items about those people in his country who, for good reasons and bad, had become famous." One night, it occurs to him that "something fundamental was missing from his collection, that is, the origin, the root, the source, in other words, the actual birth certificate of these famous people"--and that the information is within easy reach on the other side of a connecting door that separates his meager lodgings from the Registry itself. And so begins Senhor José's midnight raids on the stacks as he shuttles between the Registry and his own room bearing precious records that he carefully copies before returning them to their rightful places. Still, this minor aberration might have remained the clerk's only transgression if not for a simple act of fate: one night, along with his celebrity records, he accidentally picks up a birth certificate belonging to an ordinary, unknown woman--a woman who becomes suddenly more important than all the others precisely because she is unknown. Celebrity is cast aside as Senhor José begins a search for this mysterious quarry--a quest that will lead him into conflict with his superior, the Registrar, and ensnare him in the kind of messy personal histories and tangled relationships he has thus far avoided in his own life.
A recurring theme in many of Saramago's novels is the very human struggle between withdrawal and connection. Whether it is the Iberian peninsula literally breaking off from the rest of Europe in The Stone Raft or an entire country afflicted by a devastating malady in Blindness, he is fascinated by the effects of isolation on the human soul and, correspondingly, the redemptive power of compassion. All the Names continues to mine this rich vein as the repressed clerk follows his unknown Ariadne's thread out of the labyrinth of his own strangled psyche and into life. Readers will find here Saramago's trademark love of the absurd, his brilliant imagery and idiosyncratic punctuation, as well as the unflinching yet tender honesty with which he chronicles the human condition. --Alix Wilber
Book Description
Senhor José is a low-grade clerk in the city's Central Registry, where the living and the dead share the same shelf space. A middle-aged bachelor, he has no interest in anything beyond the certificates of birth, marriage, divorce, and death that are his daily routine. But one day, when he comes across the records of an anonymous young woman, something happens to him. Obsessed, Senhor José sets off to follow the thread that may lead him to the woman-but as he gets closer, he discovers more about her, and about himself, than he would ever have wished.
The loneliness of people's lives, the effects of chance, the discovery of love-all coalesce in this extraordinary novel that displays the power and art of José Saramago in brilliant form.
Customer Reviews:
what's in a name?.......2007-08-29
'All the Names' is a decidedly odd novel by Jose Saramago. In it he chronicles the rather lonely life of a middle-aged bachelor who works at a government ministry responsible for recording births, marriages, divorces and deaths of the populace. This bachelor clearly has issues, and he takes on an unwholesome obsession with his work. When he stumbles across the name of a complete stranger he feels compelled, as if dictated by divine intervention, to learn everything about her.
Unfortunately after the author does a satisfactory job of pulling the reader into the madness of this civil servant he doesn't really finish the story in a satisfactory way (..no spoilers here). If there is a profound message embedded in 'All the Names' I'm afraid I couldn't find it.
Bottom line: the sort of novel that defines its premise very nicely but then proceeds sideways, never moving forward to a satisfactory conclusion. Not recommended.
kafka lite.......2007-07-20
If Kafka were older and a little more optimistic (magical) what would you get? This author. Typical for his novels, the protagonist is a lonely older man trapped in a bureaucracy, who discovers and creates a bit of mystery. Well worth it, but be prepared. This author does not like punctuation, which can slow you down a little. In this case it makes you savor the novel more.
A little dull..........2007-07-16
I read Saramago's book, Blindness, and was so excited by it that I went out and bought All The Names. The book was very slow and about 1/2 way through I realzed I just plain didn't care about anyone or anything in the book. This is where I stopped. So, maybe the book ended well or got interesting but if it takes 100 pages to say something worthwhile, I'll take a pass (since there are so many other books out there).
Even though I have mixed feelings about All The Names, I still feel that Saramago is a genius writer (but I'll admit I'm a little wary about picking up another of his works).
All the lives..........2006-03-11
though short it may seem ,this novel took me a month to go through with ,in many of my reading-marathons sessions ... it took me many packs of cigarettes as well .... but again ... i was satisfied.
all the names is a one long monolgue narrated by Don Jose - the only name we will encounter in (all the names)- : a lone wolf ,eccentrically monotonous clerk ,whose greatest pleasure is keeping track of famous people and collecting their info in files of his own.
One day , while searching for some info for his secret hobby, he accidentally stumbles upon the civilian card of some unknown woman ,and absurd as it may seem to him ( and to his ceiling - yes ceiling you didnt read that one wrong ) ludicrous as it may seem ,he starts a don quixotian quest in order to find this woman ... to transform this insipid ,one dimensioned image of a (paper-being) into something (else) he has never seen before.
All the names is a gloomy,despondent journey with a Sisyphean antihero ,that may awaken us from the slumber we are going through to go beyond the names into a colored ,multi-dimensioned life.
GREAT.......2005-11-05
There is not much that I can say about this book, except that it was THE best book I've ever read. The unspoken medaphors and the underlying currents made reading this book bliss. I will say this, however. They don't use quotation marks (sometimes a tad annoying) and you must be in a rather reflective/melencholy mood to read this. THIS BOOK ROX MY SOX!!
Amazon.com
Alison Smith's close-knit Catholic family is the very picture of contentment--right up until the day her 18-year-old brother is killed in a car accident. In Name All the Animals, Smith walks readers through the breakdown and breakthroughs of her family in the days and years that follow.
Cleanly written and only occasionally maudlin, this memoir reads like a gritty coming of age novel. Included are all of the pieces one would expect in a book that starts with a death--bereft parents, good samaritan neighbors, even a somewhat rote post-funeral scene back at the house--but Smith manages to throw in a few unexpected curveballs. A sweetly scandalous lesbian experience, a pair of skinny-dipping nuns, and a suspiciously undetected bout of anorexia come together with a quiet but ever-present insurance investigation to create a truly original story.
Written in the same vein as The Lovely Bones or The Dogs of Babel, Smith's story manages to convey the beauty that can be found in coming to terms with grief. Ultimately triumphant, this is a great read for anyone searching for meaning after the loss of a loved one. --Vicky Griffith
Book Description
A luminous, true story, Name All the Animals is an unparalleled account of grief and secret love: the tale of a family clinging to the memory of a lost child, and of a young woman struggling to define herself in the wake of his loss. As children, siblings Alison and Roy Smith were so close that their mother called them by one name, Alroy. But when Alison was fifteen, she woke one day to learn that Roy, eighteen, was dead.
Heartbreaking but hopeful, this extraordinary memoir explores the after-math of Roy's death: his parents' enduring romance, the faith of a deeply religious community, and the excitement and anguish of Alison's first love -- a taboo relationship that opens up a world beyond the death of her brother.

Well written, thoughtful memoir.......2007-06-06
Ms. Smith invites her readers to experience her coming of age teen years, the same time she traveled through the process of grieving her older brother's death. Such a vulnerable in anyone's life, her family's religion and the loss of her brother tangle into her adolescent stage and threaten to swallow her up. This is a loving look at a very intimate and raw experience.
A touching book that makes an impact on the reader.......2007-04-25
This is a touching book about the author's experience with grief and loss. Alison had one sibling, her older brother Roy. They were so close as kids, that her mother had one name to refer to both of them - Alroy. When Roy was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 18, the family's world was turned upside down and would never be the same again. Alison was 15 at the time, and she goes into vivid detail about her family's way of dealing with this. Alison's mother threw herself into chores and hiking, her father spent much of his time praying for Roy's soul, and Alison used to spend her evenings sitting in a backyard fort that she and her brother had made together. She was shielded from the details of her brother's accident, but read the newspaper article about it a year and a half later. When she learned the horrific details, she walked down to the accident site on a rainy night in her bare feet, absolutely devastated. The book also spends a lot of time on Alison's Catholic School experiences, as well as a forbidden love and her emerging sexuality. Overall, this was an excellent book that dug deeply into the grieving experience. I gave it four stars instead of five because a few years ago, Alison's mother died and she never mentioned the details of it. It was simply at the back of the book where she was thanking people. This book touched me, and I would highly recommend it.
Lovely.......2007-03-19
I really enjoyed this memoir by Alison Smith. I thought she did a wonderful job describing her grief over the death of her older brother and how she dealt with it. I thought she told her story with a strong, clear voice. Her descriptions were very vivid and real. I think part of why I enjoyed this book so much is that Alison Smith and I are about the same age and I could relate to her experience growing up. I didn't realize until I was reading the book that she grew up in Rochester, NY. For me there's always a little bit of an affinity for stories about places I know. Similar chronology and common geography aside I thought this was a great book.
Powerful and Moving.......2007-02-02
Alison Smith read at the West Side YMCA's Writer's Voice on May 14, 2004. This is from my introduction to the event.
Alison Smith's "Name All the Animals" manages a very difficult balancing act. It is, to me, a tri-partite story. The main story of the terrible grief of losing a loved one, the events and impact of a strong religious faith both being practiced, tested and transformed, and the emerging sexual identity of a teenager, all during the period of grief following a great tragedy.
If Alison Smith failed to make any of the three legs of the story stand convincingly, the whole book would've toppled over. And it's to her great credit that she brings out clearly the people in her life, making them completely three-dimensional in their weakness and in their strength. Throughout the book, the most powerful presence is that of her brother, who flits like a ghost around her, yet is more present in many ways than the people left behind to mourn, and those who surround her in her day-to-day life.
Alison Smith makes art out of tragedy, and throughout the book you feel a sense of connectedness to her story that is unforced, and natural, beyond that of the natural empathy one feels when confronted with someone else's sorrow. It's a powerful and moving book.
An intriguing tale of grief's aftermath.......2007-02-01
Growing up, Alison Smith and her brother Roy were so close their mother called them both "Alroy." They had their scuffles, but when it all came down to it, the two were one another's best friends.
Then one morning when Alison is 15, she learns that 18-year-old Roy has been killed in a car accident. All of a sudden, her world is turned upside down. The dynamics within their closeknit family are destroyed forever.
Alison quickly learns that the tragedy also means no one in the community will treat her the same way again. The nuns at her private school essentially let her get away with anything, and the kids she's known her entire life don't know what to say.
Then Terry comes to school, and Alison's thrilled. Not only is Terry an intriguing artist, but she's also someone with whom Alison can have a clean slate.
As time progresses, the two girls become more than just friends. Their secret is exposed, and Alison's teachers and family express their disgust. How *could* she?
This story is a fascinating look at the aftermath of grief; what happens to a person when everything they've ever known is gone? It may be that they become unafraid to let their true desires known...

Not Worth Your Time Or Money. .......2007-08-13
Matt Haig reveals no new insight into branding or marketing. I would rate this book a 4/5 as entertaining toilet reading, but if this book was suppose to teach a marketer something new, then it is simply an insult to you intelligence.
What pissed me off the most was the lack of substance in the case studies and the sheer amount of promotion for his buddies books - most notably Al Ries. Why am I reading the your book when I can just get his and save myself the frustration.
I am trying to remember a single good piece of advice and can't. Unless you're a complete amateur or a total idiot this book isn't for you. I've seen fliers with better information.
Don't Waste Your Time.
Could have been much, much better........2006-11-23
I went into reading this book with the highest of expectations both because of the other reviews on it and because I am really interested in the topic.
It started out interestingly enough but quickly went downhill. The first few case studies were pretty in depth and interesting but towards the middle of the book they got really short and shallow. It is almost as if the writer became impatient with his own book. If you don't want to write in detail about 100 brands then just don't. Write in depth about a handful but make the case studies meaningful.
The subtopics were also not logical for me. For me a better format would have been: Chapter one / Lesson one: Research your market. Then give some examples of brands that failed to do so. Chapter two / lesson two: Kill the product not the brand. Then some examples. And so on. But it was not arranged like that. In fact none of the lessons seemed to tie together that well. Surely the author could have found some more logical groupings.
Overall I give the book two stars.
Worth Reading.......2006-09-21
This book in worth reading even if you are not associated with any branding activities. Most of the examples are explained with logic (though few examples are debatable) and with great insigt.
Well written book!
Invaluable case study examples of branding in the trenches.......2006-05-10
This book is worth perusing, if only for the very large number of vivid examples of branding success and failure.
Some of the underlying principles are open to critique, most notably the authors assertion that perception determines buyers decisions rather than product traits. Many would say that `perception' is, of course, determined to a large extent by the customer's relationship to the product's traits. However, Haig is on track in so many other areas, and the case examples are so valuable, that the book is worth a look anyhow.
Branding can be such a confusing, abstracted issue, that the concrete examples here can provide a much needed reality-check.
Failure doesn't always imply mistakes.......2004-11-15
This book is a great collection of brand-related failures, and many of the incidents covered in this book are both entertaining and informative. However, while all of these cases show failure, I don't think that they all show mistakes. By 'mistake', I mean that the company made a foolish decision that they could reasonably be expected to have made differently at the time.
A lot of these failures we can see in hindsight were because of certain decisions, but it many cases, based on the information provided in the book, it doesn't seem that the decision was wrong given the knowledge and information at hand at the time.
In the end, this book is definitely a fun read for the most part, but most of the time the 'lessons learned' presented at the end of each case seem to be contradicted by some other company somewhere that made the same sorts of decisions and succeeded. Because of this, the only real lesson this book can teach is that there are no absolute rules to successful branding, and while there are certain guidelines that can usually be followed, there are always exceptions to the rules, and quite often the biggest successes have been the companies that defied conventional wisdom.
On a different note, I'm not sure how reliable the information in this book is, since two of the examples provided, the Chevy Nova, and Gerber's baby food in Africa, are regularly repeated examples, however they did not fail for the reasons presented in the book (which are the same reasons usually given by people who tell these stories). These may be exceptions, but they do make me question just how much research was put into the cases presented in the book.

Beware of Missing Pages!.......2006-05-31
This book is a joke! It's missing 65 pages from girls names. It goes from P to V. Of course I am having a girl! I called Meadowbrook Press and they could NOT have cared less. They said that it's not their fault but the printers fault. I asked them for the name of the printer and she couldn't tell me! I told them that they are irresponsible since they published this book and it's MISSING pages!!! BEWARE OF BOOKS FROM MEADOWBROOK PRESS! THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!
Inconvenient Convenience.......2006-02-25
I originally bought this book so that I could keep from having to run to the computer every time I wanted to learn what a name meant as I thought about whether it was something I could live with. I was frustrated by the 1001 spelling variations. Good grief, the poor kid will have to correct everyone who spells his/her name the regular way. If you really don't think that's a hassle, wait until you're having to change every mispelled version of a name. My son's name is Bryan and for the life of me I thought that was fairly normal. Yet the poor fellow started kindergarten this year automatically telling people, you spelled my name wrong but that's okay. At least he's easy going about it...what if your child isn't...Just food for thought.
How About More Actual Ethnic Spelling Variations Instead of Madeup Spellings?.......2005-07-31
As someone who likes to read name books and one of the first name books I ever read being an older book by Bruce Lansky and actually having liked it I can now see why so many people are disappointed with his books. It's all of the kreativ (Creative) spellings, there's just too many of them. I would actually prefer to see more actual bonafide foreign spelling variations instead. That is much more unique in my opinion. Taking a common popular name like Michaela, or Madison, and changing the spellings to McKayla, Makaela, Mykaela, Madacyn, Madasyn or Madecin is not going to make a common popular name sound or look any less common or popular or unique, it will just look like common popular name that is spelled incorrectly.
Hungarian names? Bogus..........2005-07-07
In this book the authors clearly wanted to boost the number of names as high as possible. After exhausting all the meaningful known english names (and apparently creating lots of new ones), they probably had no other choice than to "go international".
All right, this opinion comes from somebody who is fresh out of Hungary - the bigger half of the names originated as "Hungarian" in this book are not from our language!
Sooo... was the book still useful to me? Yepp, it got my imagination going... Meaning, it helped me to start inventing names too. So dear readers, how 'bout AMERIQ?
(My wife went with a different name though) :)
