«El péndulo de Foucault» is the mystery and conspiracy novel by Umberto Eco, published by Bompiani/Lumen in hardcover (585 pages, in Spanish).
In late-1980s Milan, three intellectuals at a publishing house contact authors interested in occult sciences, secret societies, and cosmic conspiracies. What begins as a theoretical game between irony and erudition becomes a dangerous spiral of symbols that blurs the boundary between reality and fiction.
Originally published in Italian in 1988 as «Il pendolo di Foucault»; this Spanish edition was published in 1991.
For readers seeking a demanding novel, with intellectual density and an interest in esotericism, the history of ideas, and conspiracies.
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.
