«Il pendolo di Foucault» is the historical fiction novel by Umberto Eco, published by Bompiani in paperback (509 pages, in Italian).
Three editors at a Milanese publishing house, after reading manuscripts on occult sciences and secret societies, decide to invent a «Plan» that connects Templars, Rosicrucians, and esoteric traditions. What begins as an intellectual game turns threatening when others believe in the Plan.
This novel is Umberto Eco's second novel, after «The Name of the Rose», and was published in 1988 in Bompiani's Letteraria collection.
For readers of intellectual intrigue novels and for those seeking plots about esotericism, conspiracies, and historical references.
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.
