When José Saramago set out to write about Portugal two decades ago, he aimed to create a unique narrative, and he succeeded brilliantly. This travelogue captures the essence of the country he loves, bringing it to life through his keen observations. Eschewing traditional sources like tourist guides, Saramago explores Portugal with a deep fascination for its ancient myths and history. From medieval fortresses perched on cliffs to cobweb-laden chapels and grand city mansions, he vividly depicts extraordinary sites inhabited by kings, warriors, artists, and everyday people, all contributing to the nation's rich tapestry of myth and history. Saramago pays meticulous attention to the enduring elements of ancient Portugal while reflecting on its current rapid transformation. His prose is infused with the tenderness and intelligence that his readers cherish, making this work a heartfelt tribute to the country and its vibrant traditions. José Saramago, born in 1922, is renowned for his diverse body of work, including novels, plays, and poetry. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. Amanda Hopkinson and Nick Caistor, both accomplished translators, have contributed to making Saramago's work accessible to a wider audience.
