«El péndulo de Foucault» is the novel by Umberto Eco, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (588 pages, in Spanish).
Three intellectuals working at a Milan publishing house contact authors interested in occultism, secret societies and cosmic conspiracies. They conceive a supposed Templar plan that weaves together centuries of esoteric speculation; what was a game becomes dangerous when strange characters take it seriously and disappearances begin.
Originally «Il pendolo di Foucault» (1988), the work is structured according to the ten sefirot of the Kabbalah; the Spanish translation is by Helena Lozano.
A work for readers of historical and mystery fiction who enjoy esotericism, symbols 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.
