Overview

José Saramago narra el insólito viaje del elefante Salomón a través de la Europa del siglo XVI

Una aventura épica llena de humanidad, humor y sabiduría

«Siempre acabamos llegando a donde nos esperan». —Libro de los Itinerarios

A mediados del siglo XVI el rey Juan III ofrece a su primo, el archiduque Maximiliano de Austria, un elefante asiático. Esta novela cuenta el viaje épico de ese elefante llamado Salomón que tuvo que recorrer Europa por caprichos reales y absurdas estrategias.

El viaje del elefante no es un libro histórico, es una combinación de hechos reales e inventados que nos hace sentir la realidad y la ficción como una unidad indisoluble, como algo propio de la gran literatura. Una reflexión sobre el sentido de la vida humana, con sus afanes, desvelos y ambiciones, con su irremisible final, en la que el humor y la ironía, marcas de la implacable lucidez del autor, se unen a la compasión con la que José Saramago observa las flaquezas humanas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

José Saramago recounts the astounding voyage of Solomon the elephant across Europe in the sixteenth century.

An epic adventure full of humanity, humor and wisdom


“We always arrive at the place where we are expected.”—Book of Itineraries
 
In the mid sixteenth century, King João III gifts an Indian elephant to his cousin, Archduke Maximilian of Austria. This novel imagines the epic travels of Solomon and his handler across Europe, following royal whims and absurd strategies.  
 
The Elephant’s Journey blends real and fictitious events into an inseparable whole, as only great literature can do. A reflection on the meaning of human life, with its desires, worries and ambitions, and inevitable end, it showcases the humor and irony that characterize Saramago’s prose, as well as his compassion for human weakness.
