The Island the Day Before
9.99 €
The famous novel "The Name of the Rose" (1980) by Italian historian, professor of semiotics and aesthetics Umberto Eco is about freedom, the novel "Foucault's Pendulum" (1988), which consolidated the author's fame, is about the need to control freedom with common sense, logic and conscience.
Both of Eco's debut masterpieces are clearly philosophical books. The more profound philosophical content of the third novel "The Island on the Eve" (1995). It is a turbulent tale of life and death with a hero reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe, only thrown not on a deserted island, but on a deserted ship. His struggle for survival is poetic, the book is filled with images from great painting, music, and literature, and it is full of surprises for savvy readers. The unusual and strong characters of the Dartagnan time, the sad laughter of the nosy Cyrano and the philosophy of Descartes - all in one plot, reminiscent of a new-fangled computer quest.
