📖 About the Book:
In this richly layered historical adventure, Umberto Eco spins the tale of Baudolino — a quick-witted peasant boy who becomes the adopted son of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Mixing truth and tall tales, Baudolino journeys across medieval Europe and into the mythical lands of Prester John, encountering crusaders, scholars, and strange creatures. Witty, erudite, and playfully unreliable, this novel blurs the boundaries between history and legend.
