Foucault's Pendulum
(Author) Umberto EcoThree Milan editors, who have spent much time rewriting crackpot manuscripts on the occult, decide to have a little fun. Their plan encompasses the secrets of the solar system, Satanic initiation rites, and Brazilian voodoo. A terrific joke--until people begin to disappear.
Umberto Eco
Umberto Eco was an Italian novelist, philosopher, and literary critic known for his complex narratives, intricate plots, and deep exploration of semiotics and symbolism. His most notable works include "The Name of the Rose," a historical murder mystery set in a medieval monastery, and "Foucault's Pendulum," a labyrinthine conspiracy thriller. Eco's writing style is characterized by his erudition, intertextuality, and playful manipulation of genre conventions. His contributions to literature include popularizing semiotics and postmodernism in fiction, challenging readers to engage with complex ideas and multiple layers of meaning. Eco's impact on the literary genre is profound, as he inspired a new wave of experimental and intellectual fiction.
