Foucault's Pendulum
by Umberto Eco

En el año 2002, el estudio central de la Cadena SER se transformó en la nave del misterio. Con la ilusión y el rumbo puestos en la búsqueda de lo desconocido comenzó una aventura fascinante que ha hermanado a millones de amigos. A lo largo de los casi quinientos programas de Milenio 3 hemos vivido muchas experiencias, hemos sentido muchos terrores y hemos aprendido algo que anteriormente no sabíamos. Este libro es un homenaje a esa gran familia que vive cada fin de semana esta experiencia radiofónica, una invitación a los que quieran sumarse y un recuerdo de algunas de las historias que convirtieron la madrugada en algo mágico e inolvidable. IKER JIMÉNEZ - CARMEN PORTER.

The book Dan Brown was trying to write, except Dan wanted to be "serious".
No author should start mixing the Catholic Church, Templars, and modern times and events and also wish to be taken seriously.
Fortunately Eco instead takes us on a wild romp through every conspiracy theory short of the Kennedy Assassination without taking himself seriously.
Our characters are in very serious trouble indeed, and the tale is both fast and gripping.
Excellent read, excellent history; the more familiar you are with European history the more you will enjoy the lack of liberties he needed to take. But not being a history scholar will not detract in the least from this very pleasurable book.
