In 1992, Colonna, a documentary filmmaker whom his ex-wife considers a compulsive loser, agrees to direct Domani, a newspaper that gets ahead of events with assumptions. Together with six other editors, he prepares the zero issue of the paper and comes across files about the CIA, the Vatican and Mussolini. An event in Milan and a discreet love affair end up shaping his destiny.
With dust jacket, it belongs to Lumen's Narrativa collection; translation by Helena Lozano Miralles.
It will appeal to readers of literary and historical fiction, as well as those who enjoy conspiracies and journalism.
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.
