The famous novel "The Name of the Rose" (1980) by Italian historian, professor of semiotics and aesthetics Umberto Eco is about freedom, while the novel "Foucault's Pendulum" (1988), which solidified the author's reputation, is about the necessity of controlling freedom with common sense, logic, and conscience. Both of Eco's debut masterpieces, despite their thriller-like nature, are clearly philosophical books. The third novel, "The Island of the Day Before" (1995), has an even deeper philosophical content. It is a turbulent tale about life and death with a hero reminiscent of Robinson Crusoe, only he is stranded not on an uninhabited island, but on an uninhabited ship. His struggle for survival is poetic, the book is filled with images from great art, music, literature, and is full of surprises for astute readers. Unusual and strong characters from the time of D'Artagnan, the melancholic laughter of Cyrano de Bergerac, and the philosophy of Descartes - all in one plot, reminiscent of a modern computer quest.
