Synopsis
From the best-selling author of The Name of the Rose and The Prague Cemetery , a novel about the murky world of media politics, conspiracy, and murder, "Eco combines his delight in suspense with astute political satire in this brainy, funny, neatly lacerating thriller." -- Booklist 1945, Lake Como. Mussolini and his mistress are captured and shot by local partisans. The precise circumstances of Il Duce's death remain controversial. 1992, Milan. Colonna, a depressed hack writer, is offered a fee he can't resist to ghostwrite a book. His subject: a fledgling newspaper, which happens to be financed by a powerful media magnate. As Colonna gets to know the team, he learns of the editor's paranoid theory that Mussolini's corpse was a body double and part of a wider Fascist plot. It's the scoop the newspaper desperately needs. The evidence? He's working on it. It's all there: media hoaxes, Mafiosi, the CIA, the Pentagon, blackmail, love, gossip, and murder. A clash of forces that have shaped Italy since World War II--from Mussolini to Berlusconi. Numero Zero is the work of a master storyteller. "Although Numero Zero takes place in 1992, Eco may as well be describing our current journalistic landscape of hot takes and click bait." -- Los Angeles Times "Readers of Elena Ferrante or Rachel Kushner will likely catch the barbs in [Eco's] clever absurdities." -- Vulture, "Eco combines his delight in suspense with astute political satire in this brainy, funny, neatly lacerating thriller." --Booklist 1945, Lake Como.

- p***p (47)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (Nr. 403989405345)
