The Elephant`s Journey

For two years Solomon the elephant has lived in Lisbon. Now King Dom Joao III wishes to make him a wedding gift for a Hapsburg archduke in Vienna. The only way for Solomon to get to his new home is to walk. So begins a journey that will take the stalwart elephant across the dusty plains of Castile, over the sea to Genoa and up to northern Italy where, like Hannibal`s elephants before him, he must cross the snowy Alps. Based on a true story, Saramago`s tale is an enchanting mix of fact, fable and fantasy.
