«La isla del día de antes» is the philosophical adventure novel by Umberto Eco, published by Debolsillo in paperback (592 pages, in Spanish).
Roberto de la Grive, a young Piedmontese, is confined to an abandoned ship facing a nearby, unreachable island after a shipwreck in the South Seas. In letters to an enigmatic «Señora», he reconstructs his past while trying to solve the secret of the Fixed Point, coveted by the powers of the era.
The work was originally published as «L'isola del giorno prima» (1994), and this edition belongs to the Contemporánea collection, with a translation by Helena Lozano Miralles.
For readers of historical and adventure fiction with an interest in philosophical fiction and the erudition of Umberto Eco.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
