Foucault's Pendulum

Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, and philosopher wrote the novel Foucault's Pendulum. It was initially published in 1988, and William Weaver's English translation came a year later.

The 10 Sefiroth symbolize the ten parts of Foucault's Pendulum. The satirical novel has so many arcane references to Kabbalah, alchemy, and conspiracy theory that critic and author Anthony Burgess argued it needed an index. The title alludes to a genuine pendulum constructed by French physicist Léon Foucault to illustrate the rotation of the Earth, which has symbolic meaning in the story. Some see it as a reference to Michel Foucault, citing Eco's connection with the French philosopher, although the author "clearly rejects any deliberate allusion to Michel Foucault"—this is viewed as one of his sly literary jokes.
