[This] magnificent new novel... marks a return to the heady mixture
of absorbing ideas and down-and-dirty historical detail that made
The Name of the Rose such an international bestseller in the
1980's
*Sunday Times*
This is a great mystery novel about paranoia, prejudice and
forgery... We gain access to a world of city streets, strange
anecdotes, gourmet menus, and conspiratorial minds... Eco’s best
novel since The Name of the Rose
*Independent*
A smartly entertaining fin-de-siècle romp
*Independent*
An extremely readable narrative of betrayal, terrorism, murder and
gourmadising... The great trick Eco pulls off here is to combine
the most chilling of ideas - the origin of a hoax that led to
genocide - with, elsewhere in the novel, an often funny lightness
of touch... In other hands, this novel could have been grim. But
you end up feeling, despite all the darkness, that Eco is one of
literature's great optimists
*Daily Telegraph*
Imagine Dan Brown adorned with a PhD: that's Umberto Eco
*Observer*
