A chillingly powerful dystopian vision from one of Europe's greatest writers

About the Author

Jose Saramago is one of the most important international writers of the last hundred years. Born in Portugal in 1922, he was in his sixties when he came to prominence as a writer with the publication of Baltasar and Blimunda. A huge body of work followed, translated into more than forty languages, and in 1998 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Saramago died in June 2010.

Reviews

Extraordinary...a tour de force of thought-experiment and feeling-experiment
*Observer*

This is a shattering work by a literary master...a book of real stature
*Boston Globe*

Saramago repeatedly undertakes to unite the pressing demands of the present with an unfolding vision of the future. This is his most apocalyptic, and most optimistic, version of that project yet.
*Independent*

He writes a prose of particularly luminous intensity, brilliantly rendered into English by his regular translator Giovanni Pontiero...Sweepingly ambitious
*The Times*

A powerful fable
*Scotsman*
