«El péndulo de Foucault» is the mystery novel by Umberto Eco, published by Debolsillo in paperback (820 pages, in Spanish).
Three editors from Milan, fascinated by esotericism, devise a conspiratorial plan linking the Templars with secret societies of all eras. What begins as an intellectual joke becomes dangerous when occultist groups take the plan literally and connect it with Foucault's pendulum in Paris.
«El péndulo de Foucault» is the Spanish translation of «Il pendolo di Foucault», originally published in 1988; it won the Bancarella Prize in 1989.
A demanding read, intended for those who enjoy erudition, historical mystery and conspiracy theories.
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.
