THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD

一時興起胡謅的玩笑竟演變成致命的危機，享譽國際文壇巨匠安伯托．艾可，呈現給讀者又一令人愛不釋手、機敏鬥智的驚悚小說！

一切都是阿爾鄧提上校起的頭，只因他告訴了卡索朋、貝爾博、狄歐塔列維等三個編輯，說他發現一張的密碼紙條，上頭記載了數世紀前聖殿騎士團的一個計畫，他們打算秘密擷取一個神秘的強大能量，據說這個能量甚至超越核能。然而卡索朋三人，受夠了平日編輯一些陰謀論者天花亂墜的手稿，對於上校古怪的說法感到新奇，三人決定動手泡製屬於自己的陰謀「計畫」。

他們輪番將各種古代手稿輸入那台名為『阿布』的電腦裡頭，舉凡撒旦的召喚儀式、十七世紀的薔薇十字社宣言，到吉薩金字塔的丈量數據，一股腦全塞進了電腦裡頭，他們甚至還繪製了一副地圖，上面標記了一個可以控制全世界能量的地點，而那個地點就位在巴黎的傅科擺陳列室。剛開始三人一致認為這是個絕妙的惡作劇。直到從上校開始，人們開始一個接一個地離奇失蹤……

"As brilliant and quirky as The Name of the Rose, as mischievous and wide-ranging . . . A virtuoso performance." —SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

A literary joke plunges its creators into mortal danger in this captivating intellectual thriller by celebrated author Umberto Eco.

A Colonel Ardenti starts it all: He tells three editors that he has discovered a coded message about a centuries-old Knights Templar plan to tap a mystic source of power greater than atomic energy. The editors, bored with rewriting crackpot manuscripts on the occult and amused by his fantastic claims, decide to cook up a Plan of their own. Into their computer they feed manuscript pages on Satanic initiation rites, Rosicrucianism, the measurements of the Great Pyramid—and out comes a map indicating a point from which all the powers of the earth can be controlled, a point located at Foucaults Pendulum in Paris. A terrific joke, they think. Until people begin to disappear mysteriously, starting with the colonel . . .

"An encyclopedic detective story about a search for the center of an ancient, still-living conspiracy of men who seek not merely power over the earth but the power of the earth itself . . . An intellectual triumph." —ANTHONY BURGESS, The New York Times Book Review
