Luís's Reviews > O Pêndulo de Foucault

Let's be clear: Eco is a titan. This opus embarks the reader in a story with multiple bends; one is carried away by the incredible erudition of the author and by the apparent mastery of his art. Rare are the books that raise the level of the reader. Eco does it every time. A Landmark!
Foucault's Pendulum is a book that exceeds me. It contains references, involved authors, outdated ideologies, and strange rites. Yet, every time I read it, I get out of it. It is a reminder of the Dan Browns of this world, the publications of the Bogdanov brothers, and the sociology thesis of Elisabeth Tessier. This work is both the ultimate conspiracy and an ode to these little boys who were we and amused themselves by putting secrets on our boredom to give us importance.
