José Saramago en sus palabras

One of the main aspects of Saramago’s intellectual profile was his active participation in the public sphere. His voice became a global point of reference, particularly identifiable with critical thinking, defense of the weak, and the restoration of human rights —a voice that only became stronger with the author’s receipt of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. This book constitutes a repertoire of statements made by the author and captured by the press between the second half of 1960 and March 2009. His significance as an originator of public opinion becomes evident in these pages, which delve into the Various Authors identities of José Saramago: the man, the author, and the committed citizen.
