Description
|
|
|
|
The Nobel Prize–winning author of Blindness, Death with Interruptions, and The Elephant's Journey here offers a mosaic of his youth in Portugal—vignettes of small events, remembered with the immediacy of a child. Born in Azinhaga in 1922, José Saramago was 18 months old when his family moved to Lisbon, but he returned to the village many times to stay with his mother's parents—illiterate peasants in the eyes of the world, but a font of knowledge, affection, and authority to young José. He remembers the death of his older brother, his mother pawning the blankets every spring and buying them back for winter, and his grandparents bringing the weaker piglets into their bed on cold nights, as well as his first encounter with Molière, in a Portuguese-French conversation guide.
