Medieval adventure blends history, myth, lies.

"Baudolino" isn't just a journey through a meticulously painted medieval landscape; it's a fantastic exploration of the line where history meets myth. If you find delight in tales that whisk you back to an era of knights and legends, with a narrator whose reliability is as questionable as it is charming, Umberto Eco's tale will tickle your intellect and your imagination. Plus, Eco's flair for rich, evocative language makes this book a literary feast for anyone in search of robust historical fiction with a twist.
