...Saramago has fashioned his own splendid parting gift: a poignant, if paradic, comical and, finally, sadly instructive little tale., "It would be hard to more highly recommend a novel to be downed in a single drafteSimply, this books flows, and keeps on flowing." -- The New York Times "His most optimistic, playful, humorous and magical book, a grace note written near the end of his life... The Elephant's Journey is a tale rich in irony and empathy, regularly interrupted by witty reflections on human nature and arch commentary on the powerful who insult human dignity." -- Los Angeles Times "Saramago...spun this whimsical yet compulsively readable tale...it's a perfect example of why [he] will be remembered as a master of surreal, enchanting prose." -- GQ "A picaresque romp that gleefully skewers the benighted souls clinging to outmoded worldviews while breathtaking new realities unfold right in front of them." -- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "It would be hard to more highly recommend a novel to be downed in a single draft&Simply, this books flows, and keeps on flowing." -- The New York Times "His most optimistic, playful, humorous and magical book, a grace note written near the end of his life...

Synopsis
The tale of an elephant named Solomon who travels through sixteenth century Europe, from Lisbon to Vienna., A delightful, witty tale of friendship and adventure from prize-winning novelist José Saramago In 1551, King João III of Portugal gave Archduke Maximilian an unusual wedding present: an elephant named Solomon. In José Saramago's remarkable and imaginative retelling, Solomon and his keeper, Subhro, begin in dismal conditions, forgotten in a corner of the palace grounds. When it occurs to the king and queen that an elephant would be an appropriate wedding gift, everyone rushes to get them ready: Subhro is given two new suits of clothes and Solomon a long overdue scrub. Accompanied by the Archduke, his new wife, and the royal guard, these unlikely heroes traverse a continent riven by the Reformation and civil wars, witnessed along the way by scholars, historians, and wide-eyed ordinary people as they make their way through the storied cities of northern Italy; they brave the Alps and the terrifying Isarco and Brenner Passes; across the Mediterranean Sea and up the Inn River; and at last, toward their grand entry into the imperial city., A delightful, witty tale of friendship and adventure from prize-winning novelist Jos Saramago In 1551, King Jo o III of Portugal gave Archduke Maximilian an unusual wedding present: an elephant named Solomon.
