At first I took the style to be a problem of translation, but apparently it was all intended by the author. Particularly the conversations took a good bit of attention at first, with their very peculiar punctuation, or lack thereof, but there was something in it all that kept me reading. The story itself was interesting, but was close to being secondary to the writing style with its omniscient narrator commenting on everything under the sun. Definitely different! A mediados del siglo XVI el rey Juan III ofrece a su primo, el archiduque Maximiliano de Austria, un elefante asiático. Esta novela cuenta el viaje épico de ese elefante llamado Salomón que tuvo que recorrer Europa por caprichos reales y absurdas estrategias. El viaje del elefante 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. una reflexión sobre la humanidad en la que el humor y la ironía, marcas de la implacable lucidez del autor, se unene a la compasión con la que José Saramago observa las flaquezas humanas.
The Elephant’s Journey is a work of great and sly charm, taking its time to weave the nets in which its readers will find themselves delightfully enmeshed. The real genius, however, is to tell the tale ahistorically. The narrator zooms in and out, forward and back, so we get a good look at Suleiman plodding up ancient mountains overlooking a deep blue sea, as if from a helicopter "The Elephant's Journey" is a tale rich in irony and empathy, regularly interrupted by witty reflections on human nature and arch commentary on the powerful who insult human dignity. In The Elephant's Journey his reminder of the importance of the nonhuman is on a far larger scale. So it isn't surprising that I rank it very high in his work, and that it immediately, with no effort at all, joined the more forbidding novels that I have come to love best – The Stone Raft, Blindness, The Cave.

Inspiriert von der wahren Geschichte eines indischen Elefanten, den man im 16. Jahrhundert auf spektakuläre Weise über Land und See von Spanien nach Wien überführte, erzählt Saramago von den sagenhaften Abenteuern des Elefanten Salomon und seines gewitzten Mahuts.
