When Jose 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. Forfeiting the usual sources such as
tourist guides and road maps, he scours the country with the eyes
and ears of an observer fascinated by the ancient myths and history
of his people. Whether it be an inaccessible medieval fortress set
on a cliff, a wayside chapel thick with cobwebs, or a grand mansion
in the city, the extraordinary places of this land come alive.
Always meticulously attentive to those elements of ancient Portugal
that persist today, he examines the country in its current period
of rapid transition and growth. "Journey to Portugal" is an ode to
a country and its rich traditions.
