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.
成于一个通宵后的上午,文责自负,如果我还清醒的话。 讲吧,记得豁边 我是躬逢盛会的,但似乎蛋比鸡更有味道,所以略去不述。报章上有用"韦小宝"来形容波多里诺的,我也双手赞成。反正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...
评分我决定把自己的打分标准下调一下。虽然这样比较对不起那些我还未打分的书们。 以后3星的意思就是,我个人觉得不错,但是不保证你读了也会喜欢。 这几天进入了所谓秋末大抢收。之前同时开始读的好几本书接连步入结局。除了《中国哲学简史》这类,我很讨厌把书读完的感觉。用最...
评分腓特烈大帝的溺死,是《波多里诺》里的一道分水岭。 在此之前,整部书更像是基于在中世界的宗教框架中抓住各种有机可乘缝隙编织的一部历史小说,按照作者的想像去重新塑造历史一副令人啼笑皆非的真相。 而在此之后,整部书的发展陡然像一个魔幻的世界发展,碰一下就会变得漆黑...
评分 评分不太了解欧洲历史和基督教,全当作故事书来看,也觉得很好看! 最喜欢的有三部分:亚历山大的平地而起、伊帕吉雅说上帝,以及最后揭露腓特烈大帝密室之死。 很过瘾,推荐一把!
