Баудолино

The book seamlessly weaves real historical events with fantastical elements, making me wonder what inspired this unique mix and how much was planned from the start.

The story’s playful voice contrasted with heavy topics like faith and identity. I’m curious if that was Eco’s intention or a happy accident.

It adds layers of complexity and humor, but also raises questions about truth and storytelling. I wonder if Eco was inspired by any specific literary tradition.
