Review
"Saramago writes possibly the most beautiful but certainly the most precise and differentiated Portuguese prose of our time" (Walter Haubrich Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
"Saramago is a writer, like Faulkner, so confident of his resources and ultimate destination that he can bring any improbability to life" (John Updike)
"No candidate for a Nobel Prize has a better claim to lasting recognition than this novelist" (Edmund White)
"He was the equal of Philip Roth, Günter Grass, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo. His genius was remarkably versatile - he was at once a great comic and a writer of shocking earnestness and grim poignancy" (Harold Bloom)
"Saramago is a writer of formidable talent and extraordinary imagination" (La Repubblica)
Book Description
A wonderful and witty book, part folk fable, part philosophical tale, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature and the greatest Portuguese writer of his time.
