Krátky popis
After a violent storm in the South Pacific in the year 1643,
Roberto della Griva finds himself shipwrecked-on a ship. Swept from
the Amaryllis, he has managed to pull himself aboard the Daphne,
anchored in the bay of a beautiful island. The ship is fully
provisioned, he discovers, but the crew is missing. As Roberto
explores the different cabinets in the hold, he remembers chapters
from his youth: Ferrante, his imaginary evil brother, the siege of
Casale, that meaningless chess move in the Thirty Years' War in
which he lost his father and his illusions, and the lessons given
him on Reasons of State, fencing, the writing of love letters, and
blasphemy. In this fascinating, lyrical tale, Umberto Eco tells of
a young dreamer searching for love and meaning, and of a most
amazing old Jesuit who, with his clocks and maps, has plumbed the
secrets of longitudes, the four moons of Jupiter, and the Flood.
