Críticas:
"It is extremely funny. Old Saramago writes with a masterfully light hand, and the humour is tender, a mockery so tempered by patience and pity that the sting is gone though the wit remains vital... a series of contained miracles of absurdity, quiet laughter rising out of a profound, resigned, affectionate wisdom" (Ursula K Le Guin Guardian)
"José Saramango wrote his final book with great panache" (Margaret Reynolds The Times)
"Here is a book as serious as it is charming; amid its ironies runs a sustained pleas for the subversive workings of the imagination: "every elephant contains two elephants, one who learns what he's being taught and another who insists on ignoring it all". Thank goodness for that'" (Guardian)
"A novel of wit, warmth and wonder" (Yann Martel)
"Here he has seized the opportunity to turn an unlikely tale of a transalpine hike into something far larger even than its elephantine subject." (Amanda Hopkinson Independent)
