Cuadernos de Lanzarote, 1

In February 1993, when he established his habitual residence on the island of Lanzarote, José Saramago received a gift: a notebook that would serve as a record of his days in the Canary Islands. He never wrote anything in it, but "in this way, and not by any other means, the Notebooks of Lanzarote were born, which saw the light for five years". Politics, society, literature, life, affections, memories, ideas, landscapes, beloved writers, reading, family, friends... Nothing escapes in this book, which covers the period between 1993 and 1995, to the lucid gaze of José Saramago, an author committed to the end with his time and with the world he had to inhabit.
