Jose Saramago

Opis

Shifting back and forth between Azinhaga and Lisbon, this touching book is a mosaic of memories, a gathering together of the fragmented recollections that make up the idea of ones youth. Lust, love, humiliation, aspiration - the raptures and miseries of childhood are beautifully captured.

Recenzje

The voice of Small Memories is so immediate, genial and full of simple affection for the boy he was, that reading it feels very much like sharing a fireside with a talkative uncle Guardian
