HTML:<p><b><i>#1 Italian bestseller</i></b><br /> <br /> "Witty and wry . . . It's hard not to be charmed." — <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br /> "One of the most influential thinkers of our time." — <i>Los Angeles Times</i><br /> <br /> <b>1945, Lake Como.</b> Mussolini and his mistress are captured and shot by local partisans. The precise circumstances of Il Duce's death remain controversial.<br /> <br /> <b>1992, Milan.</b> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. "Farcical, serious, satiric, and tragic" (<i>Le Point,</i> France), <i>Numero Zero</i> is the work of a master storyteller.<br /> <br /> UMBERTO ECO (1932–2016) was the author of numerous essay collections and seven novels, including <i>The Name of the Rose,</i><i>The Prague Cemetery,</i> and <i>Inventing the Enemy.</i> He received Italy's highest literary award, the Premio Strega, was named a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur by the French government, and was an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters</p>.
