As in The Name of the Rose, the Middle Ages and modernity here overlap and are mutually reflective. Like The Name of the Rose, Baudolino is a historical novel with detective elements. Here the plot goes back to "Six Napoleons" Conan Doyle, added mythical stories of the Magi, the Shroud of Turin, the search for the Grail, the heroes wander through fictional kingdoms and battles with armies of fantastic creatures, and ends with a thriller double denouement. Journalists wrote at once: Baudolino is Eco's self-portrait. A tireless storyteller, scribe, celebrity and citizen of the world and at the same time a connoisseur, and at times - a participant in the simple, carnivorous, half-crestian life of the Italian province, Eco and his hero - flesh from flesh native town of Alexandria in Piedmont. It is this Alexandria, the city born before the reader's eyes, that Eco's novel depicts, for all its raw simplicity, as an almost sacred place, a haven of earthly paradise, a haven of the Grail.
