The Elephant& 39 s Journey is a novel by Nobel Prize in Literature Nobel Prize winning author Jos Saramago . It was first published in 2008. Plot In 1551, Monarch King John III of Portugal Jo o III of Portugal gave Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor Archduke Maximilian an unusual wedding present an Indian Elephantelephant named Solomon. The elephant s journey from Lisbon to Vienna was witnessed and remarked upon by scholars, historians, and ordinary people. Out of this material, Jos Saramago has spun a novel already heralded as a triumph of language, imagination, and humor El Pa s . Solomon and his Mahout keeper , Subhro, begin in dismal conditions, forgotten in a corner of the palace grounds. When it occurs to the king and Catherine of Austria, Queen of Portugal queen that an elephant would be an appropriate wedding gift, everyone rushes to get them ready Subhro is given two new suits of clothes and Solomon a long overdue scrub. They cross the border into Spain at Castelo Rodrigo Castle Castelo Rodrigo and meet the Archduke at Valladolid . Accompanied by the Archduke, his new Maria of Austria, Holy Roman Empress wife , and the royal guard, our unlikely heroes traverse a continent riven by the Protestant Reformation Reformation and civil war civil wars . They make their way through the storied cities of northern Italy Genoa , Piacenza , Mantua , Verona , Venice , and Trento , where the Council of Trent is in session. They brave the Alps and the terrifying Eisack Isarco and Brenner Pass Brenner Mountain pass Passes they sail from Roses, Girona Rosas across the Mediterranean Sea and later up the Inn river Inn River elephants, it turns out, are natural Sailor sailors . At last they make their grand entry into the Capital city imperial city . The Elephant s Journey is a delightful, witty tale of friendship and adventure.
