Sinopse

An encyclopedia in which the reader will be carried away by the fascinating floors of the labyrinths that unite Eco's prose.

The Island of the Day Before tells the story of a young Piedmontese nobleman from Monteferrato who, while on a secret mission for Cardinal Mazarin, has his ship, the Amarillis, wrecked by a fierce storm in the Southern Ocean. Roberto, after days on a lifeline, stumbles upon the Daphne, another deserted ship, but filled with ancient objects, metals, and works of art. This begins a slow journey back to the 1700s of new science, the Thirty Years' War, and a cosmos in which Earth is no longer the center of the universe. A journey back to the Baroque era, a solitary adventure, played out in the young man's memory.

A book full of allusions to the great works of the past, to masters and scientists.
