Publisher's Summary
Nineteenth-century Europe, from Turin to Prague to Paris, abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious. Conspiracies rule history. Jesuits plot against Freemasons. Italian priests are strangled with their own intestines. French criminals plan bombings by day and celebrate black masses by night. Every nation has its own secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and massacres. From the unification of Italy to the Paris Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to the notorious forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat. But what if, behind all of these conspiracies both real and imagined, lay just one man? What if that evil genius created the most infamous document of all?

Excellent (if repellent) story, masterfully rendered
A timely reminder that the 19th century was, in so many ways, no less turbulent and insane than our own era - and that it continues to cast a shadow over our politics and institutions. An unpleasant but compelling tale, and if you’re already an admirer of Eco’s work, this should not disappoint.
Sean Barrett is the ideal narrator: pronunciation, tone, pace and timbre were, for me, perfect. Overall, a rewarding experience.
