Description
Solomon the elephant has lived in Lisbon for two years. Now, he's to be given away as a wedding gift to an archduke in Vienna. To reach his new home, Solomon must walk. His journey begins across dusty plains, over the sea to Genoa, and up northern Italy, where he'll cross the snowy Alps like Hannibal's elephants before him. Based on a true story, José Saramago weaves fact, fable, and fantasy into an enchanting tale. This book is an unusual blend of history, adventure, and fantasy. Solomon's journey is a remarkable one, spanning mountains and seas to reach his destination.
