Island of the Day Before torrent

the island of the day before by Umberto Eco (abridged)


After a storm in the Pacific in 1643, a young nobleman finds himself shipwrecked on a ship, anchored in the bay of an island.

As he explores the abandonded ship he starts writing love letters and keeps a diary cum novel.


Eco tries to capture the spirit of 17th century Europe, but to fully appreciate the book you've got to have a background in the science, philosophy, literature of the period, and that makes for a frustrating read.
