Happy #TattooTuesday! Today’s recommendation is for Devin Soper, Director of the Office of Digital Research and Scholarship. The size and design of the turtle, sings of an appetite for adventure! For you, we’re recommending The Island of the Day Before by Umberto Eco, translated from the Italian by William Weaver. 🐢📖 We’re continuing the nautical theme with a shipwrecked knight, who’s pursuing the wonder of mystery, life, love, and meaning. After a tumultuous South Pacific storm in the year 1643, the knight, Roberto della Griva, finds himself aboard the Daphne, a fully provisioned ship with no crew. It is anchored in the bay of a beautiful island through which, he is convinced, runs the international date line. The shore is so close, but untouchable—the knight cannot swim.
