Umberto Eco - (1932 - 2016)
This was the author’s second published novel.
This complex psychological thriller chronicles the development of a literary joke that plunges its perpetrators into deadly peril.
One Colonel Ardenti, who has unnaturally black, brilliantined hair, a carefully groomed mustache, wears maroon socks, and who once served in the Foreign Legion, starts it all. He tells three Milan book editors that he has discovered a coded message about a Templar Plan, centuries old and involving Stonehenge, a plan to tap a mystic source of power far greater than atomic energy.
Bored with their work, the three Milanese book editors cook up an elaborate hoax that connects the medieval Knights Templar with occult groups across the centuries. Becoming obsessed with their own creation, they produce a map indicating the geographical point from which all the powers of the earth can be controlled—a point located in Paris, France, at Foucault’s Pendulum.
But in a fateful turn the joke becomes all too real. When occult groups, including Satanists, get wind of the Plan, they go so far as to kill one of the editors in their quest to gain control of the earth. Orchestrating these and other diverse characters into his multilayered semiotic adventure, Umberto Eco has created a superb cerebral entertainment.
Note–The Foucault pendulum is named for Léon Foucault (1819-1868), the French physicist who first devised the apparatus in the mid-19th century. This was the first laboratory demonstration that the Earth spins on its axis.
· Purpose: To illustrate the earth’s rotation.
· The pendulum consists of a heavy bob suspended at the end of a long, strong wire from a fixed point in the ceiling.
This is not my rip. My thanks to the original uploader.

Great upload, though the way the sections are labelled is an artifact of the original cassette tapes or CD’s … in digital form they keep skipping back and forth between parts 1 and 2 of the book, so suddenly you skip forward hours ahead into the audiobook every time a section ends. If you to listen to the chapters sequentially either as mp3’s or in an m4b file, you will need to rename each section in proper chronological order.

… and/or batch the files into two separate folders or two separate m4b’s.

thanks! the order needs a bit of correcting though: simply copy everything labelled “part 1″ into one folder and everything with “part 2″ into another, and that will fix it.
