La balsa de piedra

La balsa de piedra

Saramago, José

The stone raft is based on a bold narrative approach. A spontaneously opened crack along the Pyrenees causes the separation of the European continent from the entire Iberian Peninsula, transforming it into a large floating island, moving without oars, sails or propellers towards the south of the world, on the way to a new utopia : the cultural meeting of the peninsular peoples with the peoples on the other side of the Atlantic, thus challenging the suffocating domination that the United States has been exercising in those territories. A twice utopian vision would understand this political fiction as a much more generous and humane metaphor: that Europe, all of it, should move south in a way that, in compensation for ancient and modern colonial abuses, helps to balance the world. That is to say, Europe finally as ethics.
