"The Mystical Flame of Queen Loana" is the most personal and moving novel by Italian writer Umberto Eco, written in 2004. Antique bookseller Yanbo wakes up with amnesia after an accident, and everything he has experienced in his life has become a blank. He seems to be walking in a fog, and the images that flash in his mind from time to time make him curious about his past. So his wife suggests that he return to the country house where he grew up as a child, and slowly regain his memory there.
Yang Bo's grandfather was a used bookseller. In addition to countless books, comics, newspapers and records, the old house also contained Yang Bo's primary and secondary school textbooks and notes. Once, Yang Bo accidentally found a set of comics "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana". For a person who has lived outside of time, is this the clue to his life? ...

★ The Book of Memory: Shows how people construct their identities from fragments of daily life
★ Hyperlink novel: Eco is a well-known semiotician. He uses various symbols as nodes to build the novel into a huge Internet composed of hyperlinks. Books, movies, comics, music, etc. jump to each other, guiding readers to travel through the era in the protagonist Yang Bo's memory, and find the meaning that Eco gave to the novel in the collage of virtual and real texts, images and even sounds.
★ Full-color printing: There are more than a hundred illustrations in the book, including not only children's classics such as Popeye, Felix the Cat, and Pinocchio, but also the first generation of Marvel heroes such as "Phantom Man", which fully shows how a knowledgeable and interesting soul grows up
