Eco, Umberto.

The Prague cemetery Umberto Eco ; translated from the Italian by Richard Dixon. - 1st American ed. - Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. - viii, 444 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

19th-century Europe, from Turin to Prague to Paris, abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Every nation has its own secret service and secret organizations that are plotting against each other, perpetrating conspiracies and even massacres. One of their most powerful tools is forgery. From the Dreyfus Affair to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Jews are blamed for everything. One man connects each of these threads into a massive crazy- quilt conspiracy within conspiracies. -- Provided by publisher.
