2022: AÑO SARAMAGO
Una novela deslumbrante sobre el poder de la rebeldía para cambiar la historia
«Mientras no alcances la verdad, no podrás corregirla.Pero si no la corriges, no la alcanzarás. Mientras tanto, no te resignes».
Libro de los Consejos
Raimundo Silva, corrector de pruebas de una editorial, es un personaje anodino que tiene como misión en la vida conservar la integridad de los textos que llegan a sus manos. Un día, revisando un ensayo sobre el cerco de la ciudad de Lisboa, siente el impulso irreprimible de introducir un «No» donde debiera aparecer un «Sí». Estadecisión aparentemente inocua altera, sin duda alguna, la historia escrita, pero también va a ser fundamental en su vida personal.
A partir de ese momento, el conservador Raimundo Silva no volverá a ser sujeto paciente de la historia, tanto de la universal como de la personal, porque su acto de rebeldía le hace asumir el protagonismo que, como hombre, y por tanto como ser hegemónico, le corresponde en la vida.
Historia del cerco de Lisboa es una novela contemporánea en la que caen varios cercos: el histórico de la ciudad de Lisboa y el que impide al hombre comunicarse con sus semejantes, pero también el de la soledad, definitivamente abatido en el amor realizado.
La crítica ha dicho:
«Una novela deslumbrante».
Publishers Weekly
«Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía».
Comité Nobel
«Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales».
Héctor Abad Faciolince
«Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene elvalor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven».
Luis García Montero
«Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia».
Luis Landero
«Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio».
Rafael Conte, Babelia
«Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».
El País

Story
En un país cuyo nombre no será mencionado, se produce algo nunca visto desde el principio del mundo: la muerte decide suspender su trabajo letal, la gente deja de morir. La euforia colectiva se desata, pero muy pronto dará paso a la desesperación y al caos. Sobran los motivos. Si es cierto que las personas ya no mueren, eso no significa que el tiempo se haya detenido. El destino de los humanos será una vejez eterna.

Érase una vez un rey que hizo la promesa de construir un convento en Mafra. Érase una vez la gente que construyó ese convento. Érase una vez un soldado manco y una mujer que tenía poderes.

La vida es una y tiene límites. La lectura de novelas los revienta y lo que era una se convierte en mil, infinitas. Ése es el mayor poder de la literatura y este libro nos hace participar de él. Lolita, Muerte en Venecia, El extranjero, Manhattan Transfer, Trópico de Cáncer y El tambor de hojalata son solo algunas de las obras del siglo XX de las que nos habla Mario Vargas Llosa en estas páginas. Revela con sus palabras la íntima relación de su lectura con las posibilidades de ampliar nuestra experiencia vital.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

La voz de Saramago inunda toda la historia, y nos muestra que no importan las distancias en el tiempo seguimos siendo los mismos seres humanos que hace 800 años, con las mismas carencias y necesidades.
