Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugal's History and Culture

Synopsis

The nobel prize–winning author explores his homeland in “this monumental work, a literary hybrid” of cultural history, literary nonfiction, and travelogue (publishers weekly). When josé saramago decided to write a book about portugal, his only desire was that it be unlike all other books on the subject, and in this he has certainly succeeded. Recording the events and observations of a journey across the length and breadth of the country he loves dearly, saramago brings portugal to life as only a writer of his brilliance can.
