The unbelievable journey of Solomon the elephant throughout Europe in the 16th century. A special edition, illustrated by Manuel Estrada, National Design Award winner, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Jos Saramago's Nobel Prize.
In the middle of the 16th century, King Juan III offers his cousin, Archduke Maximiliano of Austria, an Asian elephant. Thus begins this novel that tells of this elephant named Solomon's epic journey through Europe, brought about by royal whims and absurd strategies. Today, as the 20th anniversary of Jos Saramago's Nobel Prize approaches, we have the pleasure of seeing this special edition of The Elephant's Journey designed by the National Design Award winner, Manuel Estrada.
This is not a historical book, it is a combination of real and imagined events that leads us to feel reality and fiction as one and the same, as only great literature can do. In it, humor and irony, marks of the author's relentless clarity, join the compassion with which he observes human frailty. Written ten years after his Nobel Prize was awarded, The Elephant's Journey shows us a Saramago in all his literary splendor.
