The story
Franciscan friar William of Baskerville and his novice, Adso of Melk, arrive at an early 14th-century Benedictine abbey in Northern Italy.
William and Adso make the acquaintance of Salvatore, a hunchback who speaks gibberish in various languages, and his handler and protector, Remigio da Varagine.
Keen to head off accusations of the murders being the work of the Devil, the duo discovers and explores a labyrinthine library in the abbey's forbidden principal tower.
