About the Book

What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating the Iberian peninsula?

In Saramago's lovely fable, the new island is sent spinning, like a great stone raft, towards the Azores. While the authorities panic and tourists and investors flee, three men, two women, and a dog are drawn together by portents that burden them with a bemusing sense of responsibility. Traveling at first packed into a car, then into a wagon, they take to the road to explore the limits of their now finite land, adrift in a world made new by this radical shift in perspective.

About Author
José Saramago

José 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.

Book Review

An irresistible blend of shrewd detail and lyrical fantasy... A seductive novel that needs to be savored -- Helen Dunmore ― Observer

An invitation to one of the richest bodies of work by a living writer-- Amanda Hopkinson ― New Statesman

Jose Saramago's brilliant evocation...is magical realism of a sort that stirs real wonder -- James Park ― Time Out

Saramago's lovely and original questing story, in a lineage of others such as Don Quixote and Kipling's Kim, is a journey of the spirit told as a journey of the feet-- Richard Eder ― Los Angeles Times

Tremendous wit is always apparent in his imaginative conceits, comic digression and verbal and narrative games -- Ian Critchley ― Sunday Times
