To jest moje pierwsze spotkanie z Saramago. Z tą książką było różnie, nie chce mówić, że się rozczarowałam, bo to była w sumie bardzo dobra książka. Tylko chyba nie dla mnie. Mam wrażenie, że trochę mnie zmęczyła. Główny bohater, skromny urzędnik Jose, pracownik Archiwum Głównego Akt Stanu Cywilnego...
Al día siguiente no murió nadie. In his novels, Saramago often liked to explore the deep-reaching consequences of having a single brick removed from the foundation of society, and watching everything come down. In this case, it's death. At the start of the book, we're told that the citizens of a...
“A MAN WENT TO KNOCK AT THE KING’S DOOR AND said, Give me a boat."In “The Tale of the Unknown Island” by José SaramagoI love the way Saramago builds this parable by using the Portuguese King D. João II and Columbus. He went to Lisbon in 1476 and remained here for several years, seeking the support o...
“If Adam was punished for wishing to resemble God, how do men come to have God inside them without being punished, and even when they do not wish to receive Him they go unpunished, for to have and not to wish to have God inside oneself amounts to the same absurdity, and the same impossible situation...
Look, I like fiction that teaches me about history and deals with social issues, and I don’t mind a bit of stylistic experimentation. But I have my limits. This so-called novel is about 30% story, 10% flights of fancy and 60% unsourced treatise on labor relations in 20th century Portugal. Several ge...
So, Saramago goes trolling through the old testament.I really liked "The Gospel according to Jesus Christ", and have read some very interesting takes on the Cain and Abel story (like Unamuno's Abel Sanchez), but I didn't much care for this one. After the first quarter, I had trouble staying engaged,...
The Best. Subtle. Beautifully written. Unassuming. Adam and Eve. Yin and Yang. 2 halves of the same apple. A simple love story. Spiritual. Unusual setting. Will stay with me. Love Jose. Always...
https://msarki.tumblr.com/post/156528723823/death-with-interruptions-by-jos%C3%A9-saramagoDeath With Interruptions fails in its embellished and sentimental concept of love conquering death. A silly book, at first look, ripe with satire and unflattering looks into religion and laws of the state. A p...

Przyznam się, że wpierw widziałam ekranizację, która ogromnie przypadła mi do gustu. Co tu dużo pisać... Książka niesamowicie dobra! Na początku przeszkadzał mi styl autora, bo nie było podziału na myślniki, ale potem szybko się przyzwyczaiłam i w ogóle mi to nie przeszkadzało, wręcz szybciutko mi ...
