Sinopse

Umberto Eco's international bestseller. The novel is a true primer on bad journalism and the times.

A group of editors, assembled at random, prepares a newspaper. It's not an informative one; its goal is to blackmail, defame, and provide dubious services to its publisher. A paranoid editor, wandering through a hallucinatory Milan (or hallucinating in a normal Milan), reconstructs fifty years of history against a diabolical backdrop, revolving around the rotting corpse of a pseudo-Mussolini. In the shadows, Gladio, the P2 Masonic lodge, the assassination of Pope John Paul I, the coup d'état of Junio Valerio Borghese, the CIA, the Red terrorists manipulated by the secret services, twenty years of attacks and smokescreens—a set of inexplicable facts that seem invented, until a BBC documentary reveals them to be true, or at least confessed to by their authors.

"Number Zero" is a perfect primer on bad journalism, which the reader navigates without knowing whether it was invented or simply recorded live. A story set in 1992, it foreshadows so many mysteries and madness of the following twenty years. A bitter and grotesque adventure that unfolds in Europe from the end of World War II to the present day.
