The island of the day before

by Umberto Eco, William Weaver

Shipwrecked on an abandoned vessel in the South Pacific in 1643, a young nobleman reflects on his past in seventeenth-century Europe. His letters examine the era's scientific and political shifts as he seeks to solve the geographical mystery of the fixed point.
