From the misty mountains of the north to the southern seascape of the Algarve, the travels of Nobel laureate José Saramago are a passionate rediscovery of his own land.
Setting off in his veteran motor car, Saramago wants to travel to Portugal, as well as through it: by making it his destination the acclaimed writer hopes to take stock of his native land as it hovers on the edge of the modern world. He is no typical guide – he avoids the „sights” in favour of a remote Romanesque church, a cobweb-ridden chapel, the local and the domestic – but, with his deep fount of memory and erudite knowledge, each encounter evoking the span of Portugal's history, he is anyone's idea of a delightful travelling companion.
