Wir befinden uns im 12. Jahrhundert, zur Zeit der Kreuzzüge. Baudolino, ein gewitzter Bauernsohn aus dem Piemont, wird Adoptivsohn des Kaisers Friedrich I. Barbarossa. Den Kopf voller Flausen, Phantasien und Lügen, lenken seine irrwitzigen Ideen von nun an den Lauf der Weltgeschichte. Von den Liebesbriefen an die Kaiserin, den undurchsichtigen Machenschaften bei der Belagerung Alessandrias und dem rätselhaften Tod Barbarossas gar nicht zu reden ... "Eco verknüpft historische Fakten des 12. Jahrhunderts, Fabelwesen, saftige Liebesromanzen, aktuelle Politik und Glaubensfragen zu einem sprühenden Feuerwerk." Welt am Sonntag
