Cimitero di Praga
by Umberto Eco
Der Italiener Simon Simonini lebt in Paris, und er erlebt aus nächster Nähe eine dunkle Geschichte: geheime Militärpapiere, die der jüdische Hauptmann Dreyfus angeblich an die deutsche Botschaft verkauft, piemontesische, französische und preußische Geheimdienste, die noch geheimere Pläne schmieden, Freimaurer, Jesuiten und Revolutionäre - und am Ende tauchen zum ersten Mal die Protokolle der Weisen von Zion auf, ein gefälschtes "Dokument" für die "jüdische Weltverschwörung", das dann fatale Folgen haben wird. Umberto Eco, der Meister des historischen Romans, erzählt die Geschichte des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, in der wir jedoch unser eigenes wiedererkennen können.

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.
