«Le cimetière de Prague» is the historical novel by Umberto Eco, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (555 pages, in French).
The narrative follows Simon Simonini between Turin, Paris and Palermo, amid conspiracies, secret services and occult societies of the nineteenth century. The plot intersects with the birth of the Dreyfus affair and the creation of «Los Protocolos de los Sabios de Sion», the antisemitic text, in a Paris of crimes, espionage and revolts.
Work originally published in Italian as «Il cimitero di Praga»; this French edition, translated by Jean-Noël Schifano, appeared in 2011.
For readers of historical and mystery fiction, and for followers of Umberto Eco, author of works such as «Le Nom de la rose».
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.
