In 'The Prague Cemetery', Umberto Eco transports us to Paris in 1897, where Captain Simonini, a document forger, dedicates himself to creating intrigues and plots in the service of the highest bidder. This historical novel spans half a century of conspiracies and scandals, exploring themes of antisemitism and conspiracy theories. With ironic and provocative prose, Eco presents us with an unforgettable antihero in a plot that has been acclaimed as his best work since 'The Name of the Rose'.
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.
