In 'Las pequeñas memorias', José Saramago invites us on an intimate journey through the memories of his childhood. With simple and emotional prose, the Portuguese author recounts his early years in Azinhaga, a small rural village, where he grew up surrounded by nature and the love of his grandparents. Through these memories, Saramago reflects on the importance of memory and identity, and shows us how childhood experiences can mark the rest of our lives.
José de Sousa Saramago was a Portuguese writer. He was the recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [with which he] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality." His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic human factor. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today" and in 2010 said he considers Saramago to be "a permanent part of the Western canon", while James Wood praises "the distinctive tone to his fiction because he narrates his novels as if he were someone both wise and ignorant."
