In this fascinating, lyrical tale, Umberto Eco tells of an international race to establish the Punto Fijo; 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.
