Baudolino by Umberto Eco
It is 1204 and Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by knights of the Fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage, one Baudolino saves a Byzantine historian and high court official from certain death and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story.
