The Prague Cemetery

I loved the narrator's work. He made the story so much more intriguing. However, this was one heavy read! I had to restart the whole thing 6 hours in, because I was so lost! I really need to listen to it again to get a clearer picture. If you know little about European history, I suggest you do some research first, or pick another title.

*This Review Contains Spoilers* This is no light listening. You need to like history to appreciate this book. Eco takes real historical events and characters, conspiracy theorists, bigots par excellence, and weaves them into a fictional narrative that culminates in the production of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the framing of Dreyfus, and along the way presents other "conspiracies", such as the evils of the Freemasons. Eco assumes an intelligent, rational readership is reading this book. Sadly, it is apparent from the proliferation of certain types of websites and other media, that there are still plenty of people in the world who believe propaganda like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The narration was superb!
