Foucault's Pendulum
by Umberto Eco
(Translated from the Italian by William Weaver)
Ballantine Books, 1990
Paperback, 533 pages
"Endlessly Diverting, even more intricate and absorbing than his international bestseller The Name of the Rose."
—Time
An engrossing novel that intertwines historical mystery and intellectual exploration. The story follows three intellectuals—Belbo, Casaubon, and Diotallevi—who work for a publishing house in Milan. They become fascinated by the occult and secret societies, leading them to create an elaborate, fictitious conspiracy theory involving the Templars, the Holy Grail, and ancient mysteries.
As they delve deeper into their invented plot, they inadvertently become entangled in a real conspiracy, with dangerous consequences. The novel blends historical facts with fictional intrigue, exploring themes of interpretation, the nature of knowledge, and the seductive power of conspiracies.
Pages unmarked, minor wear and chipping to cover at edges, back cover has larger chip near bottom egde, no creasing to spine.
