About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1989. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾"- 9¾" tall. The thinking person's Da Vinci Code, this dense and lengthy literary puzzler was Eco's follow-up to the equally wonderful The Name of the Rose. This is a first printing of the trade edition, fine in a fine (but price clipped) jacket.
Synopsis
Foucault's Pendulum is a novel by Italian novelist and philosopher Umberto Eco. It was first published in 1988; the translation into English by William Weaver appeared a year later. Foucault's Pendulum is divided into ten segments represented by the ten Sefiroth. The novel is full of esoteric references to the Kabbalah, alchemy and conspiracy theory, so many that critic and novelist Anthony Burgess suggested that it needed an index.
