Sinopsis
Physical description; x, 276 p. ; 21 cm. Summary; Provocative and lyrical, "The Notebook" is a record of a year in the life of Jose Saramago. On the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, the author started jotting down his reflections on the world in which he lives. He evokes life in his beloved city of Lisbon, conversations with friends, and meditations on his favourite authors, often rendered with pointillist detail: precise observations on stories and moments of arresting significance that together comprise an acute view of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel's bombardment of Gaza, traces the ongoing inquiry into the execution of the Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes on the London Underground, and charts the transition from the era of George W. Bush to that of Barack Obama. Available for the first time in English, "The Notebook" offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the most original writers of our time. Subjects; Saramago, José - Diaries. Authors, Portuguese - 20th century - Diaries. World politics - 21st century. Civilization, Modern - 21st century.

Críticas
"In the craft of the sentence, Jose Saramago is one of the great originals. His prose is a voice that envelops all voices: it is like the universe's immanent murmur ... No one writes quite like Saramago, so solicitous and yet so magnificently free." Steven Poole, Guardian "I'm hard pressed to think of another writer who makes me stop as Saramago does, to go back and discover the meaning of history or allegory in all its wild newness." Julian Evans, Financial Times "There is something invigorating about his refus[al] to accept 'the world as it stands in its equality. Blogging has certainly inspired Saramago's aphoristic side, and he is particular memorable when reflecting on his literary heroes .. Saramago's enthusiasm is irresistible and his commendations are acute." Toby Lichtig, TLS "A provocative miscellany of occasional pieces." Angel Gurria-Quintana, FT "Saramago enjoys picking up a passing thought or an incident and running with it, confident in his political outrage, calm in his appreciation of friends, considered in his aphoristic criticism of culture." Times
