Description
José Saramago's deeply personal work explores the lives of the Mau-Tempo family, poor landless peasants whose fortunes are shaped by the changing world around them. Against the backdrop of Portugal's transition to republicanism and the tumultuous years of World War II, the family's struggles with communism serve as a catalyst for their story.
Set against the larger historical narrative, Saramago delves into the everyday lives of his grandparents' contemporaries, revealing the ways in which ordinary people were affected by the events of the time. This is a powerful and moving portrayal of family, community, and resilience.
