José Saramago

In early eighteenth-century Lisbon, Baltasar, a soldier who has lost his left hand in battle, falls in love with Blimunda, a young girl with visionary powers. From the day that he follows her home from the auto-da-fe where women are burned at the stake, the two are bound body and soul by love of an unassailable strength. A third party shares their supper that evening: Padre Bartolomeu Lourenco, whose fantasy is to invent a flying machine. As the Crown and the Church clash, they purse his impossible, not to mention heretical, dream of flight.

International award winner A beautifully illustrated story book for kids 4-8 about the importance of nature and community, from Nobel Prize winner Jos Saramago. The sea is the universe close to us. Here is the story of a man who lives at the water's edge watching the rise and fall of the shoreline. It is the sea itself that gives him everything he needs to survive, and yet it will take courage to enter the sometimes roaring waters. The man knows that this sea that gives him everything, can also take it away, but with the help of friends and with patience, he knows the sea can be a balm and a source of life. A poetic story that will resonate with anyone who has spent time near the sea, listening to the sound of the waves. With bright and beautiful water color art by Amanda Mijangos, this simple story from the Notebooks of Nobelist Saramago, will excite and intrigue the youngest readers--and all of those who read along with them.

Jos Saramago narra el ins lito viaje del elefante Salom n a trav s de la Europa del siglo XVI Una aventura pica llena de humanidad, humor y sabidur a «Siempre acabamos llegando a donde nos esperan . --Libro de los Itinerarios A mediados del siglo XVI el rey Juan III ofrece a su primo, el archiduque Maximiliano de Austria, un elefante asi tico. Esta novela cuenta el viaje pico de ese elefante llamado Salom n que tuvo que recorrer Europa por caprichos reales y absurdas estrategias. El viaje del elefante no es un libro hist rico, es una combinaci n de hechos reales e inventados que nos hace sentir la realidad y la ficci n como una unidad indisoluble, como algo propio de la gran literatura. Una reflexi n sobre el sentido de la vida humana, con sus afanes, desvelos y ambiciones, con su irremisible final, en la que el humor y la iron a, marcas de la implacable lucidez del autor, se unen a la compasi n con la que Jos Saramago observa las flaquezas humanas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Jos Saramago recounts the astounding voyage of Solomon the elephant across Europe in the sixteenth century. An epic adventure full of humanity, humor and wisdom "We always arrive at the place where we are expected."--Book of Itineraries In the mid sixteenth century, King Jo o III gifts an Indian elephant to his cousin, Archduke Maximilian of Austria. This novel imagines the epic travels of Solomon and his handler across Europe, following royal whims and absurd strategies. The Elephant's Journey blends real and fictitious events into an inseparable whole, as only great literature can do. A reflection on the meaning of human life, with its desires, worries and ambitions, and inevitable end, it showcases the humor and irony that characterize Saramago's prose, as well as his compassion for human weakness.

Nobel Prize winner Jos Saramago tells a quiet and poetic story, an excerpt from his book Small Memories, of a lasting childhood experience of simple, soulful joy. The narrator's memories of a lost childhood paradise focus on two glorious days when he helped his uncle take some piglets to the market in Santar m. They traverse dusty roads, sleep in a barn and awake to a miraculous moonglow, and hear the animals in their "infinite conversations." The journey, the night, the wind, the light. . . . This poetic story is an unforgettable adventure narrated by Jos Saramago and presented alongside Armando Fonseca's fanciful and evocative illustrations. A very special gift for readers of all ages.

"No creo que exista en el mundo un silencio m s profundo que el silencio del agua. Lo sent en aquella hora y nunca lo he olvidado". El silencio del agua es lo nico que el protagonista de esta bella historia oye mientras espera junto al r o. Espera, espera y espera el regreso del barbo para vengar su ca a partida. Pero sabe que no ser l quien cace al animal... Otro gran po tico relato de Jos Saramago, acompa ado por preciosas ilustraciones de Yolanda Mosquera. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "I don't think there is a silence deeper than the silence of water in the entire world. I felt it in that hour, and I have never forgotten it." The silence of the water is the only thing the protagonist in this beautiful story hears as he waits by the river. He waits, waits, and waits for the barbel to return so he can avenge his broken rod. But he knows it won't be him who will eventually catch the fish... Another great poetic tale by Jos Saramago, accompanied by Yolanda Mosquera's beautiful illustrations.

Con las dos novelas anteriores Ensayo sobre la ceguera y Todos los nombres, este nuevo libro de Jos Saramago, forma un tr ptico en que el autor deja escrita su visi n del mundo actual. Una peque a alfarer a, un centro comercial gigantesco. Un mundo en r pido proceso de extinci n, otro que crece y se multiplica como un juego de espejos donde no parece haber l mites para la ilusi n enga osa. Todos los d as se extinguen especies animales y vegetales, todos los d as hay profesiones que se tornan in tiles, idiomas que dejan de tener personas que los hablen, tradiciones que pierden sentido, sentimientos que se convierten en sus contrarios. Una familia de alfareros comprende que ha dejado de serle necesaria al mundo. Como una serpiente que muda de piel para poder crecer en otra que m s adelante tambi n se volver peque a, el centro comercial dice a la alfarer a: «Muere, ya no necesito de ti . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A small, family-owned pottery shop struggles to survive against the magnetic pull of a monstrous shopping center, aware that it no longer has a place in today's society. In a world becoming extinct as another thrives, this story is a striking parable of the time we live in and the true meaning of change. It should also be heeded as a warning of all we allow to be wiped out of our lives.

A story of quiet contemplation and steely resolve by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, illustrated for readers of all ages. "I returned to the spot, even though the sun had already set, I cast my hook into the water and waited. I don't think there is a deeper silence in the world than the silence of water.I felt it then and never forgot it." On the banks of a river near his grandparents' farm, a boy is about to catch a big fish. At the same moment that he loses his prey, the boy has a moment of growing awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. He is compelled to try again to catch the fish even though he is sure it's gone. And even though his chance has passed and he is company only to silence, he has staked a claim there by the river's edge. From a childhood memory detailed in his book Small Memories, Jos Saramago spins a tale of quiet depth and wisdom-here translated by Margaret Jull Costa, and beautifully illustrated by Yolanda Mosquera.

Un precioso y po tico lbum escrito por Jos Saramago con evocadoras ilustraciones de Amanda Mijangos. «Antes de construir el primer barco, el hombre se sent en la playa a mirar el mar . Esta es la historia de un hombre que vive al lado del mar. Es el mismo mar el que le da todo lo que necesita para sobrevivir. La vida espera, pero hace falta coraje para adentrarse en las aguas sonoras de este oc ano. El hombre sabe que este mar que le da todo, si quiere, puede arrebat rselo. Una historia po tica que resonar con cualquiera que haya pasado un tiempo cerca del mar, escuchando el sonido de las olas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A beautiful and poetic picture book written by Nobel Laureate Jos Saramago, with moving illustrations by Amanda Mijangos. "Before building the first boat, man sat on the beach to look at the sea." This is the story of a man who lives by the sea. It is the same sea that gives him everything he needs to survive. Life awaits, but it takes courage to enter the ocean's resounding waters. The man knows this sea that gives him everything, if it wants, can just as easily take it all away. A poetic story that will resonate with anyone who has spent time near the sea, listening to the sound of the waves.

Un volumen que re ne dos libros de art culos de Jos Saramago, escritos entre 1968 y 1972 para el diario A Capital y el semanario Jornal do Fund o. Los dos libros agrupados en este volumen contienen art culos escritos con un lenguaje claro y directo, en los que se conjuga la reflexi n, la observaci n y la cr tica de temas muy diversos. De este mundo y del otro es una serie de cr nicas breves acerca de la vida cotidiana y sus misterios. En Las maletas del viajero, Saramago habla de su ni ez, su familia, sus vivencias y los enga os de la pol tica, as como de la vida de las ciudades, el arte y los museos. En los dos casos, su prosa demuestra un fino humor y una iron a que invita a su lectura. El conjunto nos permite entrever a un escritor directo y cercano, que parece dialogar con sus lectores de viva voz. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A volume that compiles two collections of articles written by Jos Saramago between 1968 and 1972 for the journal A Capital and the weekly Jornal do Fund o. Both books in this volume contain articles written with a clear and straight-forward language, in which reflectiveness, observation, and the review of several topics come together. Of This World and the Next is a series of brief chronicles about everyday life and its mysteries. In The Traveler's Luggage, Saramago speaks of his childhood, his family, his experiences, and political deceptions, as well as city life, art, and museums. In both cases, his prose expresses a fine humor and the kind of irony that invites one to keep on reading. Put together, the two works offer a glimpse at a close and forthright author, seemingly conversing with his readers in person.

»José Saramago är en storslagen romanförfattare. Året då Ricardo Reis dog är ett dramatiskt verk med stor filosofisk tyngd.« The IndependentVärldens faror är lika universella som solen, men Ricardo Reis tar skydd under sin egen skugga.Efter att ha arbetat i sexton år som läkare i Rio de Janeiroåtervänder Ricardo Reis till sitt hemland Portugal och Lissabons regntunga gator. Han trånar efter den aristokratiska - ochonåbara - Marcenda, men det är hotellstäderskan Lídia sombåde bäddar och delar hans säng. Så kommer Ricardo Reisgamle vän, poeten Fernando Pessoa, tillbaka från de döda föratt träffa honom. Året är 1936 och de fascistiska molnen hoparsig olycksbådande över dem. De bestämmer sig för att ta enpromenad, och deras långa samtal leder dem in på skiftanderesonemang om konst, poesi, filosofi, sanning, öde och kärlek.Den surrealistiska Året då Ricardo Reis dog [O Ano da Mortede Ricardo Reis, 1984] är skriven på en vindlande prosa ochbär alla nobelprisvinnaren José Saramagos kännetecken; en idiosynkratisk stil med inslag av magisk såväl som historiskrealism. Romanen betraktas av många som Saramagos allrabästa.I översättning av Hans Berggren.
