Le cimetière de Prague roman
by Umberto Eco
De Turin et Palerme à Paris, nous croisons des hystériques, des satanistes, des escrocs, un abbé qui meurt deux fois, des cadavres dans un égout, des jésuites complotant contre des francs-maçons, des confraternités diaboliques et des carbonari étranglant des prètres. Nous assistons à la naissance de l'affaire Dreyfus et à la fabrication des Protocoles des Sages de Sion. Nous prenons part à des conspirations, aux massacres de la Commune et à des messes noires... Tout est vrai dans ce savoureux feuilleton, à l'exception du principal narrateur, Simon Simonini, dont les actes ne relèvent cependant en rien de la fiction. Trente ans après Le Nom de la rose, Umberto Eco nous offre le grand roman du xixe siècle secret.Encore une fois, Umberto Eco a frappé un grand coup. La balade est étourdissante. Marie-Françoise Leclère, Le Point.

Umberto Eco (5 January 1932 – 19 February 2016) was an Italian novelist, literary critic, philosopher, semiotician, and university professor. He is widely known for his 1980 novel Il nome della rosa (The Name of the Rose), a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies, and literary theory. He later wrote other novels, including Il pendolo di Foucault (Foucault's Pendulum) and L'isola del giorno prima (The Island of the Day Before). His novel Il cimitero di Praga (The Prague Cemetery), released in 2010, topped the bestseller charts in Italy. Eco also wrote academic texts, children's books, and essays, and edited and translated into Italian books from French, such as Raymond Queneau’s “Exercises in Style” (1983). He was the founder of the Department of Media Studies at the University of the Republic of San Marino,[3] president of the Graduate School for the Study of the Humanities at the University of Bologna, member of the Accademia dei Lincei, and an honorary fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford.
