In the mid-16th century, King John III offered his cousin, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, son-in-law of Emperor Charles V, an Indian elephant that had been in Belém for two years, having arrived from India. There is little historical evidence of this gift, but there is some. Based on these scant evidence, and above all with the powerful imagination of a fiction writer who has already given us masterpieces such as "Memorial do Convento" and "O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis," José Saramago presents the exceptional work "A Viagem do Elefante" (The Elephant's Journey) to readers.
