About Baudolino
Set against the fiery backdrop of the Fourth Crusade sacking Constantinople in 1204, Baudolino chronicles the fantastical life of a silver-tongued peasant with an uncanny gift for languages and lying. Rescued from obscurity to become the adopted son of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, Baudolino weaves himself into the epic tapestry of high-stakes medieval politics, shaping history through sheer fabrication. As Baudolino narrates his escapades to a Byzantine courtier, he embarks on an impossible quest to discover the mythical kingdom of Prester John. Umberto Eco crafts a brilliant, rollicking blend of philosophical wit, medieval legend, and inventive storytelling that celebrates the elusive line between truth and imagination.
