Publisher Description:
Un hallazgo inesperado con el que celebrar el 20. aniversario de la concesi n del Premio Nobel a Jos Saramago.

«Eran d as de hace veinte a os, eran d as de hoy. El autor dici ndose de nuevo en Lanzarote, las palabras saliendo a borbotones, mes a mes, un a o entero, ese a o. .-Pilar del R o

Fruto de un hallazgo fortuito en el archivo de Jos Saramago, este libro es el ltimo de los diarios personales que el escritor portugu s dej escrito y que se qued , como declara el propio autor, «agarrado al disco duro del ordenador.

En sus p ginas, que recorren d a a d a la vida de Jos Saramago durante 1998, hay apuntes personales, s , pero sobre todo hay reflexiones e ideas sobre su postura cultural y tica. Ah radica, sin duda, su excepcionalidad: en ellas el lector descubre que la manera de entender el mundo de Saramago -siempre desde la perspectiva del ser humano, siempre desde la sensibilidad hacia los desfavorecidos, los vulnerables, los oprimidos por el sistema- es hoy m s necesaria, m s urgente que nunca. Su voz nos llega invariablemente viva porque, como l intu a, el tiempo es una tira el stica, y estar cerca o lejos solo depende de la voluntad.

Cuando se cumplen veinte a os desde la concesi n del Nobel, ve la luz este diario -tal como Jos Saramago lo dej escrito- junto con las cuatro conferencias que imparti en 1998, un a o que cambi para siempre la vida y la obra del autor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An unexpected discovery with which to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Jos Saramago's Nobel Prize.

"They were days from 20 years ago; they were days from the present. The author talking to himself again in Lanzarote, the words bubbling out, month to month, an entire year; that year." -Pilar del R o

The product of a fortuitous discovery in Jos Saramago's archives, this book is the last of the personal diaries that the Portuguese writer left behind--as the author himself declared--stuck to the computer's hard drive."

In its pages, which cover Jos Saramago's daily life during 1998, there are personal notes, of course, but above all there are reflections and ideas about his cultural and ethical position. Therein lies his exceptional nature: through these, readers discover that the way Saramago understood the world--always from a human perspective, always with sensitivity for the less fortunate, the vulnerable, those oppressed by the system--is now even more important, more urgent than ever. His voice is invariably alive to us because, as he sensed, time is elastic, and being near or far just depends on will.

Upon the 20th anniversary of Saramago's Nobel Prize, this notebook will be brought to light--just as he left it written--along with the four lectures he gave in 1998, a year that forever changed the author's life and work.
