«El cementiri de Praga» is the historical novel by Umberto Eco, published by Rosa dels Vents in hardback (576 pages, in Catalan).
Paris, 1897. Captain Simonini, a forger of documents, hatches nonexistent plots, stirs up intrigues and defames the European political class, drawing inspiration from the serials of Dumas and Sue. Simonini works unscrupulously for the highest bidder and his deceptions end up being exploited by Hitler.
The Catalan translation is by M. Carme Arenas Noguera and the book was published on 26 November 2010 in the Narrativa collection.
Work aimed at the general public, with special interest for readers of historical fiction and political conspiracies.
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.
