Описание книги

A thought-provoking daily record of the last year in the life of the Nobel Prize–winning novelist. Beginning on the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, The Notebook evokes life in Saramago’s beloved Lisbon, revisits conversations with friends, and offers meditations on the author's favorite writers. Precise observations and moments of arresting significance are rendered with pointillist detail, and together demonstrate an acute understanding of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel’s punishment of Gaza, and reflects on the rise of Barack Obama. The Notebook is a unique journey into the personal and political world of one of the greatest writers of our time.

Praise for The Notebook

“The Notebook reveal[s] an often sharp, sometimes mischievous, engagement with the world, whether skewering George W. Bush as a ‘liar emeritus’ or the cruel absurdity of the Gaza blockade … Such shafts of sanity and humour will be missed.” Maya Jaggi, Guardian
