Sinopsis de NUMERO ZERO
The gripping new conspiracy thriller by the internationally bestselling author of The Name Of The Rose.
1945, Lake Como. Mussolini and his mistress are captured by local partisans and shot in a summary execution. The precise circumstances of Il Duce''s death remain shrouded in confusion and controversy.
1992, Milan. Colonna, a depressed writer picking up hack work, is offered a fee he can''t refuse to ghost-write a memoir. His subject: a fledgling newspaper, which happens to be financed by a powerful media magnate. As Colonna gets to know the team of journalists, he learns the paranoid theories of Braggadocio who is convinced that Mussolini''s corpse was a body-double and part of a wider Fascist plot. It''s the scoop he desperately needs. The evidence? He''s working on it.
Colonna is sceptical. But when a body is found, stabbed to death in a back alley and the paper is shut down, even he is jolted out of his complacency.
Fuelled by media hoaxes, Mafiosi, love, gossip and murder, Numero Zero reverberates with the clash of the cynical forces that have shaped Italy since the last days of World War II. This gripping story from the author of The Name Of The Rose is told with all the power of a master storyteller.

Escrito por Umberto Eco
La obra de Umberto Eco (1932-2016) ha sido fundamental para entender la historia del siglo XX y de nuestros días. Durante mucho tiempo se dedicó a la enseñanza en la universidad, y sus ensayos son textos de consulta obligada en las universidades de todo el mundo. Hace más de treinta años hizo su entrada triunfal en el mundo de la ficción con El nombre de la rosa, una novela que lo convirtió en un autor apreciado no solo por la crítica, sino también por el gran público. A este primer éxito siguieron El péndulo de Foucault, La isla del día de antes, Baudolino, La misteriosa llama de la reina Loana, El cementerio de Praga, Número Cero. Tras su muerte, el 19 de febrero de 2016, Lumen ha publicado sus libros inéditos De la estupidez a la locura -la obra póstuma que el autor había entregado a imprenta pocos días antes-, A hombros de gigantes y La memoria vegetal, y los ensayos contenidos en Contra el fascismo, Migración e intolerancia y Cómo viajar con un salmónn, y una adaptación gráfica de El nombre de la rosa realizada por Milo Manara.
