Eco Umberto Foucault's Pendulum (0151327653)
'As brilliant and quirky as THE NAME OF THE ROSE, as mischievous and wide-raning....A virtuoso performance.'
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Three clever book editors, inspired by an extraordinary fable they heard years befoe, decide to have a little fun.

Here is an incredible journey of thought and history, memory and fantasy, a tour de force as enthralling as anything Umberto Eco--or indeed anyone--has ever devised.
