El insólito viaje del elefante Salomón a través de la Europa del siglo XVI. Edición especial ilustrada por Manuel Estrada, premio Nacional de Diseño, para celebrar el 20.º aniversario de la concesión del Premio Nobel a José Saramago. A mediados del siglo XVI el rey Juan III ofrece a su primo, el archiduque Maximiliano de Austria, un elefante asiático. Así comienza esta novela que cuenta el viaje épico por Europa de ese elefante llamado Salomón, llevado a cabo por caprichos reales y absurdas estrategias. Hoy, cuando se cumplen los veinte años del Premio Nobel de Literatura a Saramago, ve la luz esta edición especial de El viaje del elefante diseñada por el Premio Nacional de Diseño, Manuel Estrada. Este 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. En ella, 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. Escrita diez años después de la concesión del Premio Nobel, El viaje del elefante nos muestra a un Saramago en todo su esplendor literario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe unbelievable journey of Solomon the elephant throughout Europe in the 16th century. A special edition, illustrated by Manuel Estrada, National Design Award winner, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of José Saramago’s Nobel Prize. In the middle of the 16th century, King Juan III offers his cousin, Archduke Maximiliano of Austria, an Asian elephant. Thus begins this novel that tells of this elephant named Solomon’s epic journey through Europe, brought about by royal whims and absurd strategies. Today, as the 20th anniversary of José Saramago’s Nobel Prize approaches, we have the pleasure of seeing this special edition of The Elephant’s Journey designed by the National Design Award winner, Manuel Estrada. This is not a historical book, it is a combination of real and imagined events that leads us to feel reality and fiction as one and the same, as only great literature can do. In it, humor and irony, marks of the author’s relentless clarity, join the compassion with which he observes human frailty. Written ten years after his Nobel Prize was awarded, The Elephant’s Journey shows us a Saramago in all his literary splendor. | El Viaje Del Elefante (edición Ilustrada). 20.º Aniversario Del Premio Nobel / The Elefant's Journey (special Edition) by Jose Saramago, Hardcover
