«Foucault's Pendulum» is the novel by Umberto Eco, published by Ballantine Books in paperback (533 pages, in English).
Three editors at a small Milan publishing house amuse themselves by feeding fragments of esoteric knowledge into a computer capable of finding connections between any data. What begins as a game ends up taking hold of them and drags them into a plot of conspiracies where history, memory, and fantasy blend.
For fiction readers interested in mystery, history, 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.
