The Prague Cemetery (Italian: Il cimitero di Praga) is a novel by Italian author Umberto Eco. It was first published in October 2010; the English translation by Richard Dixon appeared a year later. Shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2012, it has been described as Eco's best novel since The Name of the Rose.
While I like eco's writings, this book was very disturbing to me. Seeing the hate and discrimination that was prevalent in Europe, along with the parallels I see in today's society, really made me uncomfortable.
If that was the objective of the book, it succeeded incredibly well, but it doesn't make me happy.
