Umberto Eco, a master of intellectual entertainment, takes the reader on a journey full of symbols and scientific ideas.

In the 17th century, during the age of great geographical discoveries, determining the exact method of determining longitude was one of the most important scientific challenges.

It is in this era that Eco sets his novel, combining adventure with philosophical reflection.

When his ship is wrecked in the southern seas, Robert, as the sole survivor, finds himself on another ship anchored near a mysterious Island. This peculiar place on the date line becomes the scene of extraordinary experiences and challenges for Robert. Eco leads the reader through a labyrinth of symbols, scientific ideas, and questions about what is real and what is imagined. In the background of the novel, one can find echoes of classic works of European literature, such as "Gulliver's Travels" or "Candide", but "The Island of the Day Before" remains an original, authorial reflection on the human pursuit of knowledge.
