Der Friedhof in Prag

Eco's depiction of political intrigue is layered and detailed. I'm curious what motivated the focus on this particular historical setting and theme.

The characters' ability to reinvent themselves blurred the lines between truth and fiction. Did that make others question the nature of authenticity in history?

The blending of fact and fiction was seamless but also made me wonder about the research process and the author's choices behind these portrayals.
