Obsessed with their own creation, they produce a map indicating the geographic location from which all the powers of the Earth can be controlled—a point located in Paris, France, on Foucault's pendulum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHowever, by fate, the joke becomes all too real. When occult groups, including Satanists, hear about the Plan, their quest for control of Terra knows no bounds. And Belbo finds himself targeted by a real-life secret society that believes he holds the key to the lost treasure of the Knights Templar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Orchestrating these and several other characters in this multifaceted semiotic adventure, Umberto Eco, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Name of the Rose\u003c\/em\u003e , addresses in \u003cem\u003eFoucault's Pendulum\u003c\/em\u003e contemporary issues such as the emergence of high-tech irrationalism, the syndromes of the end of the millennium, the world of signs and the secrets of history, all in a book that combines eruditeness and good humor at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"It has been said that \u003cem\u003eFoucault's Pendulum\u003c\/em\u003e is \u003cem\u003ethe intellectuals' Da Vinci Code\u003c\/em\u003e . Umberto Eco himself, however, went a step further when he stated, with his typical sense of humor, that Dan Brown was (or should be) one of the characters in his book, published 15 years before the American bestseller. [...] Eco truly created an entire facet of literature. A style. A genre of which this book is the most accomplished example.\" From the blurb by Caetano Galindo\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159425663228,"sku":"9788501034663","price":124.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/34ab21b8562fc34e46e03a3426fe21d4.jpg?v=1778324564","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-pendulo-de-foucault","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
