Reminder mark, closed tear on one corner of DJ,small stain on botton edge. 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."A profound and ingenious story artfully told . . . Renaissance battles, love poems, and sea journeys in the age of exploration." The New York Times Book Review
