Publisher's Summary

Nineteenth-century Europe—from Turin to Prague to Paris—abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Jesuits plot against Freemasons. Italian republicans strangle priests with their own intestines. French criminals plan bombings by day and celebrate Black Masses at night. Every nation has its own secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and massacres. Conspiracies rule history. From the unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat. But what if, behind all of these conspiracies, both real and imagined, lay one lone man? What if that evil genius created the world’s most infamous document?

Umberto Eco takes his listeners on a remarkable journey through the underbelly of world-shattering events. Here is Eco at his most exciting, a book immediately hailed as a masterpiece.

Very enjoyable.

It was wonderful to once again enjoy an inspired Umberto Eco, along with an extraordinary performance by the narrator: one is allowed and encouraged to believe that this despicable narcissistic anti-hero Mr. Eco conjured up from the depths of history, is capable of almost any delusional self-justification for his heinous crimes, and disturbing moral depravity.
