The Island of the Day Before

In 1643, a young Italian nobleman named Roberto de la Grive is shipwrecked in the South Pacific and finds himself on an abandoned ship anchored near an island he cannot reach. Alone, he writes letters and recalls his past, including the siege of Casale and his years in Paris.

The novel is a baroque tale of love, rivalry and imagination, set in an age fascinated by science, longitude and the nature of time. It blends adventure with reflection on solitude and storytelling.
