FOUCAULTSCHE PENDEL, DAS
by Umberto Eco
Drei Mailänder Verlagslektoren, die beruflich ständig über okkulte Wissenschaften, Geheimbünde und kosmische Komplotte lesen müssen, stoßen auf ein äußerst rätselhaftes Dokument aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Darin ist von alle 120 Jahre wiederkehrenden Zusammenkünften der '36 Unbekannten', der Nachfahren der mysteriösen Tempelritter, die Rede. Die drei Spötter stürzen sich in das Labyrinth der Geheimlehren. Spielerisch erdenken sie eine gigantische Verschwörung. Aber dann merken sie, daß jemand ihre Phantasien ernst nimmt. Und der schreckt offenbar auch vor Mord nicht zurück.

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.
