Cmentarz W Pradze by Umberto Eco
Narrated as the confession of a career forger and petty spy in nineteenth-century Europe, the novel follows a cynical protagonist who fabricates documents, engineers political intrigues and feeds paranoid conspiracy theories, ultimately assembling the infamous antisemitic forgery that spreads across courts and newspapers. With dark irony it shows how banal malice, bureaucratic opportunism and literary artifacts combine to produce mass hatred and historical catastrophe, satirizing the mechanisms by which falsehoods become accepted truths.
