Die Reise des Elefanten

Seeing the story from an animal's point of view adds a unique layer of innocence and curiosity. I'm curious whether this was planned to highlight themes of dignity and perception or evolved during writing.

The book has a gentle tone that made me smile at times but also prompted me to think about human nature. I wonder if others found this balance as effective as I did.

The backdrop of the 16th-century European court adds richness and context. Do you think the historical details deepen the narrative or serve more as a colorful setting?
