«El cementerio de Praga» is the historical novel by Umberto Eco, published by Debolsillo in paperback (592 pages, in Spanish).
Paris, 1897. Captain Simonini, a Piedmontese, makes a living forging documents for various governments. Unscrupulous, misogynistic and with an insatiable appetite, he draws inspiration from Dumas and Eugène Sue to devise non-existent plots, foment intrigues and discredit figures in European politics, always at the service of the highest bidder.
The work, originally published as Il cimitero di Praga, appears here in a translation by Helena Lozano Miralles and within the Best Seller collection from Debolsillo.
A work for readers of historical fiction, mystery and spy thrillers, as well as for followers of Umberto Eco's work.
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.
