In this fascinating, lyrical tale, Lhnberto Eco tells of an international race to establish the Piinto Fijo; of a young dreamer searching for love and meaning: and of a most amazing old |esuit who, with his clocks and maps, has plumbed the secrets of longitudes, the four moons of Jupiter, and the Flood.
