Overview

Número Cero, la nueva novela de Umberto Eco, nos descubre la cara oscura del periodismo y la manera en que nuestra realidad está en manos de quienes construyen las noticias.

«Los perdedores y los autodidactas siempre saben mucho más que los ganadores. Si quieres ganar, tienes que concentrarte en un solo objetivo, y más te vale no perder el tiempo en saber más: el placer de la erudición está reservado a los perdedores.»
Con estas credenciales se nos presenta Colonna, el protagonista de Número Cero, que en abril de 1992, a sus cincuenta años, recibe una extraña propuesta de un tal Simei: va a convertirse en redactor jefe de Domani, un diario que se adelantará a los acontecimientos a base de suposiciones y mucha imaginación, sin reparar casi en el límite que separa la verdad de la mentira, y chantajeando de paso a las altas esferas del poder.

El hombre, que hasta la fecha ha malvivido como documentalista y en palabras de su ex mujer es un perdedor compulsivo, acepta el reto a cambio de una cantidad considerable de dinero, y arranca la aventura. Reunidos en un despacho confortable, Colonna y otros seis colegas preparan el Número Cero, la edición anticipada del nuevo periódico, indagando en archivos que esconden los secretos ocultos de la CIA, del Vaticano y de la vida de Mussolini.

Todo parece ir sobre ruedas hasta que un cadáver tendido en una callejuela de Milán y un amor discreto cambian el destino de nuestro héroe y el modo en que sus lectores vamos a mirar la realidad, o lo que queda de ella.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Umberto Eco’s new novel Número Cero / Numero Zero, reveals the dark side of journalism and the sense in which our reality is in the hands of those who report the news.
 
Colonna, the protagonist, who at fifty years old receives a strange proposal from a certain Simei. He is told that he will become editor in chief of “Domani”, a newspaper that will anticipate incidents and report them ahead of time based on assumptions and a lot of imagination.
 
Colonna, who to this day has had a hopeless life as a documentary maker and, in his ex-wife’s words, is a compulsive loser, accepts the challenge in exchange for a considerable amount of money, and so the adventure begins. Gathered in a comfortable office, Colonna and six other colleagues prepare Numero Zero, the much-anticipated edition of the new newspaper, rummaging through archives that conceal hidden secrets from the CIA, the Vatican, and Mussolini’s life.
 
Everything seems to be running smoothly until a corpse lying in an alley in Milan and a understated and low-key new love change Colonna’s destiny forever, and the way in which his readers will see reality, or whatever is left of it.
