Synopsis
It is 1204, and Constantinople is being sacked and burned by the knights of the fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors, and proceeds to tell his own fatastical story.
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.

评分【耶稣复活】 公元33年4月15日清晨,耶路撒冷。耶稣死了已经有一个礼拜。 彼得看着面前惊惶失措的玛利亚,这可怜的妇人正哭诉着,她的情人,她的导师,罪人耶稣的坟墓被人撬开了。 “干得不赖,亚利马太人约瑟……倒是个人才。”彼得一边想,一边对身旁某门徒说,...
评分与大名鼎鼎的《玫瑰的名字》颇为相似,以符号学学者和小说家双重身份活跃在欧洲文化圈的艾柯再次用历史、推理为外壳上玩了一个符号学游戏,《波多里诺》几乎更加彻底的摒弃了严肃性,不再有《玫瑰》中关于中世纪宗教理论的探讨和解构,而是插科打诨,一开始就似乎对...
评分人一旦接受了一个暗示,就会不断地把它强化。大历史框架下的虚构人物也好,满口谎话也好,为人忠孝也好,标签一个个贴上去。 一直以来对卢梭有个怪癖好,喜欢拿自己往他身上套。所以面对自己神经兮兮的那种喜欢的对象,大抵是不敢抬头直视,用在书上,就是供着,不敢多看一眼。...
