Book Reviews of Baudolino
Book Review: Italo Calvino meets Jack Vance(whit a bit of Elley Queen)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book about a picaro,a wayfarer,who contrives to deceive all his world whit his elaborations of some of the most popular legends in his time:The Holy Grail and Priester John ,a fabulous christian king of the East.I've loved the description of the scholarly years in Paris,the bizarre collection of legendary monsters and fabulous beings,encountered in a voyage whose description recalled to me the bizarrenes of some Vancean adventures and the zany absurdity of Italo Calvino.But most intriguing of all is the mystery of Federico Barbarossa's untimely end:here Eco surpasses Ellery Queen in an aenigma that allows too many solutions.And over all this,Eco superb erudition.
