Description
Baudolino is an extraordinary epic novel from a world-class writer. Set in 1204, amidst the chaos of the fourth Crusade's sack of Constantinople, this dazzling tale weaves together history, myth and invention. A Byzantine historian and high court official are saved from death by Baudolino, who then tells his own fantastical story.
As the city burns, Baudolino's narrative unfolds, a beguiling blend of fact and fiction that explores the complexities of medieval life. With its unique blend of historical detail and imaginative storytelling, this novel offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
A brilliant work from one of Italy's most acclaimed writers, Baudolino is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Middle Ages or looking for a compelling narrative that will keep them turning the pages.
