The second volume of Umberto Eco's novel *Baudolino*. This work, which shook the European publishing world immediately upon its release, unfolds the adventures of the protagonist Baudolino against the backdrop of the Middle Ages—including the Crusades and the fall of Constantinople—weaving medieval figures, events, and fantasy elements together. Constantinople, the magnificent capital of the Byzantine Empire occupied by the Fourth Crusade, is burning. Baudolino, a native of Alexandria who is the son of an Italian farmer and the adopted son of the German Emperor, recounts his past to Niketas, a Greek historian whose life he saved. He claims to have prevented the destruction of Italian cities, discovered the Holy Grail while searching for a legendary Christian kingdom in the East, and identified the culprit who assassinated the Emperor… Having heard Baudolino’s entire past, Niketas is lost in thought, wondering how much of his story is true and how much is false.
