Umberto Eco has a new book out – The Prague Cemetery. It is historical fiction, and revolves around the creation of the Rosetta Stone of anti-Semitic literature, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
The story begins with a young man apprenticing himself to a lawyer who, it is quickly learned, makes his living forging deeds and wills for dead people. The protagonist is at first a bit put off, and asks how his mentor can do such a thing. "Well", the lawyer says, "what I produce are not forgeries but new copies of genuine documents that have been lost, or by simple oversight, have never been produced, and that could and should have been produced."
