One of Saramagu's last novels, The Elephant's Journey is based on a historical story and tells the journey of Solomon, an elephant sent as a gift from Goa to Portugal, after being re-gifted from Portugal to Austria. Solomon, also known as Suleiman, who was given by King Juan III of Portugal to Archduke Maximilian of Austria as a wedding gift, along with his caretaker Subhros, travels a difficult and long road full of curious travelers from Lisbon to Vienna, and during the journey he encounters a thousand dangers and many strange people. The appearance of the never-before-seen elephant excites and amazes the whole of Europe so much that historical sources keep its story to this day, and Saramagu tells us the story of this seemingly banal, but very interesting journey with his usual style of narration, light humor and irony.
