In 'Foucault's Pendulum', Umberto Eco immerses us in a plot where three Milan editors, after years of reviewing manuscripts on occultism, decide to create a game that encompasses secrets of the solar system, satanic rites, and Brazilian voodoo. What begins as a joke becomes a dangerous reality when people start to disappear. This edition by Picador Books, published in 1990, offers an extraordinary narrative that explores the darkest corners of history, combining literary fiction with esoteric elements 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.
