Synopsis

Book by Jose Saramago

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"An irresistible blend of shrewd detail and lyrical fantasy... A seductive novel that needs to be savoured" (Helen Dunmore Observer)

"An invitation to one of the richest bodies of work by a living writer" (Amanda Hopkinson New Statesman)

"Jose Saramago's brilliant evocation...is magical realism of a sort that stirs real wonder" (James Park Time Out)

"Saramago's lovely and original questing story, in a lineage of others such as Don Quixote and Kipling's Kim, is a journey of the spirit told as a journey of the feet" (Richard Eder Los Angeles Times)

"Tremendous wit is always apparent in his imaginative conceits, comic digression and verbal and narrative games" (Ian Critchley Sunday Times)

Présentation de l'éditeur

What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating the Iberian peninsula?

In Saramago's lovely fable, the new island is sent spinning, like a great stone raft, towards the Azores. While the authorities panic and tourists and investors flee, three men, two women and a dog are drawn together by portents that burden them with a bemusing sense of responsibility. Travelling at first packed into a car, then into a wagon, they take to the road to explore the limits of their now finite land, adrift in a world made new by this radical shift in perspective.
