Il pendolo di Foucault è il secondo romanzo dello scrittore italiano Umberto Eco. Pubblicato nel 1988 dalla casa editrice Bompiani (con cui Eco aveva già un pluridecennale rapporto), è ambientato negli anni della vita dello scrittore, fino ai primi anni ottanta. Il pendolo di Foucault è suddiviso in dieci segmenti che rappresentano le dieci Sephirot. Il romanzo è ricco di citazioni esoteriche, dalla Cabala all'alchimia e alla teoria del complotto, così tante che il critico letterario e romanziere Anthony Burgess ha suggerito che sarebbe stato utile un indice.


Extraordinary narrative by Italian semiotician and professor Umberto Eco, who guides us through the darkest corners of history.
