Reviews
"As brilliant and quirky as The Name of the Rose, as mischievous and wide-ranging . . . A virtuoso performance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "An encyclopedic detective story about a search for the center of an ancient, still-living conspiracy of men who seek not merely power over the earth but the power of the earth itself . . . An intellectual triumph." -- New York Times Book Review "Reads as if it were written by the most popular lecturer on campus with the instincts of a Catskill Mountains tumbler who keeps the one-liners coming . . . On almost every page, Eco comes up with some fresh notion or turn of phrase that displays his original mind. . . . Once the reader gets on the Eco carousel it's hard to get off." -- New York Times "Over the course of the book, we encounter medieval history, mysticism, Gnosticism, cabalism, time charts and numerology, pagan rituals, World War II nostalgia, Brazilian macumba religion, satires of contemporary Italian leftism and intellectual life, jabs at publishing practices, a computer named Abulafia, and . . . nods toward Sam Spade and other pop-culture icons. . . . Eco chooses the path less chosen by intellectual novelists--common sense. And that has made all the difference." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "Foucault's Pendulum is Eco's magical mystery tour of the Western mind. . . . With this book, Eco puts himself in the grand and acerbic tradition of Petronius, Rabelais, Swift, and Voltaire." -- Chicago Tribune "Rich and witty." -- Newsweek "A salubrious feast of words and ideas . . . A seriocomic interpretation of the modern mind. Like Erasmus and Swift, Eco plays the fool to teach us better about ourselves." -- Christian Science Monitor, "As brilliant and quirky as The Name of the Rose, as mischievous and wide-ranging . . .

A seriocomic interpretation of the modern mind. Like Erasmus and Swift, Eco plays the fool to teach us better about ourselves." -- Christian Science Monitor "By turns scholarly, spooky, satirical and deadly. . . . No reader is likely to stop reading. Or want to." -- Washington Post, "As brilliant and quirky as The Name of the Rose, as mischievous and wide-ranging . . . A virtuoso performance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "An encyclopedic detective story about a search for the center of an ancient, still-living conspiracy of men who seek not merely power over the earth but the power of the earth itself . . .
