Specifications
In the mid-10th century, King John III of Portugal gifted an elephant to his cousin, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, son-in-law of Emperor Charles V, which had been in Lisbon for two years, coming from India.
Based on the scant details found, but mainly drawing on his powerful imagination that has given us so many masterpieces, José Saramago constructs a story where reality intertwines with fiction, ironic perspective meets humor, and a critical attitude blends with sympathy for humankind.
