| | 1. |  | Blindness (Movie Tie-In)
from Harvest Books
Price: $0.48
Customer Review:
This is a really intense novel. It deals with a country that has every single person go blind within a short amount of time except for one woman. The way that Saramago describes the conditions that the people begin to live in is so realistic and believable. It really seems that it could happen and... more info

| | 2. |  | All the Names
from Harvest Books
Price: $0.82
Customer Review:
This is a hard book to read because of lack of punctuation, quotation marks and paragraph indentations. Also I really could not find a point to this entire story. Mostly it is a recording of a man's thoughts, reflections and daydreams. I felt like I wasted my time with this one. It was very BORING!

| | 3. |  | El viaje del elefante (Spanish Edition)
from Alfaguara
Price: $12.30
Customer Review:
Saramago has done it again. Once you start this fabulous narration it is impossible to stop. Again, as in all of his works, Saramago offers a hidden treasury of fantasy. I can only hope but for Amazon to make avail for us in the Americas, as soon as possible, his latest non-fiction.

| | 4. |  | The Cave
from Harvest Books
Price: $0.85
Customer Review:
Amazing. Just amazing. I had read Saramago's "Blindness" years ago and loved it so that's why I picked up "The Cave." It's easy to see why this author received the Nobel Prize for Literature (1998). The translation from Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa is excellent. Saramago's stylized writing... more info

| | 5. |  | The Gospel According to Jesus Christ
from Harvest Books
Price: $4.20
Customer Review:
For those who wish they might have lived to watch Jesus grow up, this might be interesting reading. The author provides a fictional (based on historical information, however) narrative of a human boy's journey to manhood. A sort of reality check from the earth-bound side. Jesus was a real flesh and... more info

from Harvest Books
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
I give this book as a gift every chance I get. It is nicely translated from Portugese to English, and the story is captivating with an old world flavor. In the end it is a testament to the real value in life's acquisitions.

| | 9. |  | The Double
from Harvest Books
Price: $0.01
Customer Review:
A shift from Saramago's usual themes, but written in the same classical, vintage J.S style. This, like all Saramago's works I've read to date,except Blindness which was the easiest read so far, has not been an easy read.
The double takes us on a psychological journey through identity, physical... more info

from Harvest Books
Price: $0.19
Customer Review:
I was really disappointed in this book. It was like slogging through a swamp to get back to the same place you started. The story was a really interesting premise, but the discussion of politics and the destinationless and pointless journey bored me.I supposed there is some meaning somewhere in all... more info
