The Island of the Day Before is a novel by Umberto Eco, published in 1994. A historical novel infused with philosophical themes, semiotics, and Eco’s signature playful intellectualism, it explores the boundaries between reality, time, and perception. A richly layered novel, The Island of the Day Before serves as a philosophical meditation on knowledge, time, and human limitation, inviting readers to question the nature of reality itself.
