FROM THE PUBLISHER
En esta obra, Saramago entabla un lance con Fernando Pessoa, convirtiéndose ambos en protagonistas autor y personaje de una de las narraciones más conmovedoras de la literatura de fin de siglo. Se realiza un recorrido por la Lisboa de los años treinta, por sus calles, parques, puentes y cafés, conducido por la palabra sabia y dulce de Saramago y acompañado por la sombra reconfortante de Pessoa, ambos cantores inmortales de la ciudad del Tajo, la ciudad de Eca de Queiroz y de Camöens. Una de las mejores novelas jamás escritas, una obra que hubiera complacido, como los honra, a Fernando Pessoa, Ricardo Reis, Álvaro de Campos y a Alberto Caeiro por igual.
