German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Postscript to the Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco | | German term or phrase: "Ein Titel ist leider bereits ein Schlüssel zu einem Sinn" | Hello all - this is an Umberto Eco quote, from the Postscript to the Name of the Rose (which i believe is usually a separate volume). Does anyone happen to have a copy of the English translation and could tell me what it this line is in English?
Many thanks! |
| | | A title, unfortunately, is in itself a key to interpretation | Explanation:
Since I don't have the English translation, I cheated: went to Amazon.com, searched for the book "The Name of the Rose: including Postscript to the Name of the Rose" and used the "search inside" function for the word "title". Clever, huh? ;) Your quote is on page 507. |
