Set in the 17th century, in Italy, France and on the high seas, this is a tale of medieval legends and dastardly deeds, mixed with portions of exploration literature. Roberto, a young nobleman, waits alone on a Pacific island, separated from the island beyond: the island of the day before.

It was translated from the Italian by William Weaver. 

This hardcover volume was published by Griffin Paperbacks in 1995.  It has a little damage to the opening page with a couple of cryptic marks which could be an English price except this is the Australian edition.  The dustjacket has some bumping and creasing and also the remains of a sticker.
