«Numero zero» is the suspense novel by Umberto Eco, published by Bompiani in hardcover (218 pages, in Italian).
In 1992, in Milan, Colonna, a failed journalist, takes part in creating a newspaper intended not to inform but to blackmail and spread disinformation. His investigation draws him into a conspiracy linking secrets of Italian history with a death in the city, blurring the line between reality and manufactured news.
The work was published in 2015 in the Narratori italiani collection by Bompiani, in its original Italian edition.
A read for fans of thrillers and Umberto Eco's narrative, with an Italian historical backdrop.
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.
