Il Viaggio Dell'elefante by José Saramago
Set in the 16th century, this enchanting tale follows the extraordinary journey of an elephant named Solomon, who is gifted by the Portuguese king to the Archduke of Austria. Accompanied by his mahout, Subhro, Solomon embarks on a remarkable trek across Europe, encountering a myriad of challenges and adventures along the way. Through the eyes of the elephant and his handler, the narrative explores themes of friendship, cultural exchange, and the absurdities of human nature, all delivered with a touch of humor and philosophical insight.
