Prague Cemetery
About This Novel
A "fake book" about the most famous and historically influential fake book in modern history. Because the fiction was too real, the Vatican was concerned: he was interviewed by the rabbi and criticized by the church. A meeting minutes that changed the destiny of the nation, a shocking conspiracy to control the entire world. "Prague Cemetery" is hailed as Eco's most exciting novel after "The Name of the Rose". The story takes place in Europe in the second half of the 19th century. The protagonist Simonini wakes up and finds that he has forgotten who he is. The panic and uneasiness of his amnesia make him decide to follow Freud and undergo mental treatment on himself. By writing diaries, he gradually recovered from the fog of memory the lonely childhood, the young man who was beaten by life, and how after becoming the spy of the secret police, he gradually became a person who betrayed his trust, betrayed his friends at will, and had no moral bottom line. He was used by all parties, working among the secret police, the church, conspirators, revolutionaries and imperial literati. He conducted espionage activities in half of Europe, planned assassinations, forged documents against the Jews and Freemasons, and made money. But it was such an inconspicuous little figure like him that actually became the guide for the political and historical development of the entire Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century.
