Lo zio d'America, che nelle famiglie spagnole non manca mai, incarica Carvalho di andare in Argentina a cercare il figlio Raul, cugino di Pepe, volontariamente desaparecido dopo essersi salvato durante la dittatura militare. Carvalho parte, convinto di immergersi nell'appassionata atmosfera del tango; si ritrova invece calato in una realtà ben diversa e sconcertante. Gli basta contattare amici ed ex compagni di lotta di Raul, perché il groviglio degli eventi lo travolga. La Buenos Aires descritta da Montalban è epica e tragica insieme, profonda e cialtrona, una delle città più complesse e contraddittorie dei giorni nostri, una società che deve rigenerarsi dopo un lungo periodo di lutti oscuri, ma dove forse c'è ancora spazio per la poesia.

When José Saramago set out to write about Portugal two decades ago, he aimed to create a unique narrative, and he succeeded brilliantly. This travelogue captures the essence of the country he loves, bringing it to life through his keen observations. Eschewing traditional sources like tourist guides, Saramago explores Portugal with a deep fascination for its ancient myths and history. From medieval fortresses perched on cliffs to cobweb-laden chapels and grand city mansions, he vividly depicts extraordinary sites inhabited by kings, warriors, artists, and everyday people, all contributing to the nation's rich tapestry of myth and history. Saramago pays meticulous attention to the enduring elements of ancient Portugal while reflecting on its current rapid transformation. His prose is infused with the tenderness and intelligence that his readers cherish, making this work a heartfelt tribute to the country and its vibrant traditions. José Saramago, born in 1922, is renowned for his diverse body of work, including novels, plays, and poetry. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. Amanda Hopkinson and Nick Caistor, both accomplished translators, have contributed to making Saramago's work accessible to a wider audience.

Chi è il misterioso Straniero che un giorno arriva a turbare la tranquillità del piccolo paese di Viscos, duecentoottantuno abitanti in prevalenza anziani? E perché la vecchia Berta lo vede camminare "insieme al Diavolo"? Quale terribile proposta, in grado di spingere gli abitanti di Viscos al delitto, lo Straniero porta con sé? E perché la giovane Chantal, unica depositaria del suo segreto, non riesce più a dormire e ha il terrore di raccontare la verità ai suoi concittadini? Il racconto di una sfida estrema tra il Bene e il Male, e insieme una parabola sulla sconvolgente forza che ciascun essere umano racchiude dentro di sé: la capacità di scegliere, in ogni momento della vita, il percorso da intraprendere.
