«El péndulo de Foucault» is the mystery and suspense novel by Umberto Eco, published by Debolsillo in paperback (832 pages, in Spanish).
In a Milanese publishing house, three intellectuals deal with writers fascinated by occultism and conspiracies. As a pure game, they conceive a secret plan they attribute to the Templars; but when someone interprets it as real, the invention becomes a nightmare that traps them.
Work originally published in Italian as «Il pendolo di Foucault»; translation by Ricardo Pochtar and Helena Lozano Miralles, Debolsillo's Contemporánea collection.
For readers of intellectual thrillers and fans of secret societies, occultism, and historical 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.
