About the Book

Umberto Eco regresa a la Edad Media con una fascinante historia donde se confunden y entremezclan hazañas prodigiosas e inverosímiles, propias de los libros de caballerías, con andanzas y viajes a países remotos y escenarios desconocidos, un vasto fresco narrativo en el que se conjugan elementos de la novela histórica con otros propios del relato de intriga, de aventuras o del género policíaco.

En una zona del bajo Piamonte donde, años después, surgirá Alejandría, Baudolino, un pequeño campesino, fantasioso y embustero, conquista a Federico Barbarroja y se convierte en su hijo adoptivo. Baudolino fabula e inventa, pero, casi milagrosamente, todo aquello que imagina genera Historia. Así, entre otras cosas, crea la mítica carta del Preste Juan, que prometía a Occidente un reino fabuloso, en el lejano Oriente, gobernado por un rey cristiano, una carta que ha nutrido la imaginación de muchos viajeros posteriores, entre los que se cuenta Marco Polo. Baudolino crece, nace Alejandría y, años más tarde, empujado por la invención de Baudolino, Federico emprende un viaje, con el pretexto de hacer una cruzada, para restituir al Preste Juan la más preciosa reliquia de la cristiandad, el Santo Grial. Federico morirá durante el viaje -en circunstancias misteriosas que sólo Baudolino nos revelará-, pero su ahijado continuará el viaje hacia aquel reino lejano, entre los monstruos que han habitado los bestiarios del medioevo, vicisitudes llenas de magia y hechizos durante las que vivirá un delicado episodio amoroso con la más singular de las hijas de Eva. Narrada a Nicetas Coniates, historiador bizantino, mientras Constantinopla arde saqueada por los cruzados, la historia nos reserva aún algunas sorpresas, puesto que, hablando con Nicetas, Baudolino comprende cosas que no había entendido todavía y de las que se deriva un final verdaderamente inesperado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

It is April 1204, and Constantinople, the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by the knights of the Fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, one Baudolino saves a historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story.

Born a simple peasant in northern Italy, Baudolino has two major gifts-a talent for learning languages and a skill in telling lies. When still a boy he meets a foreign commander in the woods, charming him with his quick wit and lively mind. The commander-who proves to be Emperor Frederick Barbarossa-adopts Baudolino and sends him to the university in Paris, where he makes a number of fearless, adventurous friends.

Spurred on by myths and their own reveries, this merry band sets out in search of Prester John, a legendary priest-king said to rule over a vast kingdom in the East-a phantasmagorical land of strange creatures with eyes on their shoulders and mouths on their stomachs, of eunuchs, unicorns, and lovely maidens.

With dazzling digressions, outrageous tricks, extraordinary feeling, and vicarious reflections on our postmodern age, this is Eco the storyteller at his brilliant best.
About the Author: La obra de Umberto Eco (1932-2016) ha sido fundamental para entender la historia del siglo XX y de nuestros días. Durante mucho tiempo se dedicó a la enseñanza en la universidad, y sus ensayos son textos de consulta obligada en las universidades de todo el mundo. Entre sus ensayos más importantes publicados en castellano figuran: Obra abierta, Apocalípticos e integrados, La estructura ausente, Tratado de semiótica general, Lector in fabula, Semiótica y filosofía del lenguaje, Los límites de la interpretación, Las poéticas de Joyce, Segundo diario mínimo, El superhombre de masas, Seis paseos por los bosques narrativos, Arte y belleza en la estética medieval, Sobre literatura, Historia de la belleza, Historia de la fealdad, A paso de cangrejo, Decir casi lo mismo, Confesiones de un joven novelista y Construir al enemigo.

Hace más de treinta años hizo su entrada triunfal en el mundo de la ficción con El nombre de la rosa, una novela que lo convirtió en un autor apreciado no solo por la crítica, sino también por el gran público. A este primer éxito siguieron El péndulo de Foucault, La isla del día de antes, Baudolino, La misteriosa llama de la reina Loana, El cementerio de Praga y Número Cero.

De la estupidez a la locura es la obra póstuma de Umberto Eco, que el autor entregó a imprenta pocos días antes de morir, el 19 de febrero de 2016.
