Baudolino
Baudolino

Medieval adventure blends history, myth, lies.

"Baudolino" isn't just a journey through a meticulously painted medieval landscape; it's a fantastic exploration of the line where history meets myth. If you find delight in tales that whisk you back to an era of knights and legends, with a narrator whose reliability is as questionable as it is charming, Umberto Eco's tale will tickle your intellect and your imagination. Plus, Eco's flair for rich, evocative language makes this book a literary feast for anyone in search of robust historical fiction with a twist.

  • Prix Méditerranée Étranger (2002)

Description

An extraordinary epic, brilliantly imagined novel from a world-class writer and author of The Name of the Rose. Discover the Middle Ages with Baudolino - a wondrous, dazzling, beguiling tale of history, myth, and invention. It is 1204, and Constantinople is being sacked and burned by the knights of the fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story.
