«El cementerio de Praga» is the historical novel by Umberto Eco, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback format (600 pages, in Spanish).
In the Paris of 1897, Captain Simonini makes a living creating false documents and plotting conspiracies for hire: he works for Italy, France, Prussia and, finally, for interests that end in Hitler. The novel follows his memoirs and spans half a century of European scandals and political intrigues with a cynical antihero.
The work belongs to DEBOLSILLO's Best Seller collection. Originally published in Italian as «Il cimitero di Praga» in 2010, this Spanish edition dates from 2012.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and political intrigue who appreciate Umberto Eco's irony, especially those who enjoyed «El nombre de la rosa».
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
