Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugal's History and Culture

First U.S. edition, fine condition throughout. Pages are tight and appear unread, the book itself square, tight, and unmarked. The dust jacket is clean and unmarked. Green boards carry bright gilt lettering along the spine. José Saramago, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998, here translated by Nick Caistor and Amanda Hopkinson. A translation of Viagem a Portugal, Journey to Portugal is a literary voyage through the author's native land, forgoing tourist guides and road maps in favor of Saramago's own eye for the myths, history, and hidden corners of the country he loved.
