About the author
Jos茅 Saramago
283听books15.9k听followersJos茅 de Sousa Saramago (16 November 1922 鈥� 18 June 2010) was a Portuguese novelist and 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 have been seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today."

The tale is mesmerizing and it casted its spell on me immediately鈥�
Baltasar and Blimunda, written in the genre of magical realism combined with an acute social drama, is like the magic music and it is full of miraculous mysticism of words and deeds.
Baltasar and Blimunda is about the insatiable hunger of great love and the avid thirst for knowledge.
The unknown beckons.
The ear has to be educated if one wishes to appreciate musical sounds, just as the eyes must learn to distinguish the value of words.

Today鈥檚 bread does not eliminate yesterday鈥檚 hunger, much less that of tomorrow.
Baltasar and Blimunda is about the insatiable hunger of great love and the avid thirst for knowledge.
What you see here are the sails, which cleave the wind and move as required, this is the rudder, which steers the machine, not at random but under the skilled control of the pilot, this is the main body of the machine, which assumes the shape of a seashell from prow to stern, with bellows attached just in case the wind should drop, as frequently occurs at sea, and these are the wings, which are essential for balancing the machine in flight, I shall say nothing about these globes, for they are my secret, I need only tell you that without their contents the machine would not be capable of flying鈥�

Memorial do Convento = Baltasar and Blimunda, Jos茅 Saramago
Baltasar and Blimunda (1982) is a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese author Jos茅 Saramago.
It is an 18th-century love story intertwined with the construction of the Convent of Mafra, now one of Portugal's chief tourist attractions, as a background.
Two young lovers interact naturally with historical characters including the composer and harpsichordist Domenico Scarlatti and the priest Bartolomeu de Gusm茫o, recognized today as an aviation pioneer, all in the shadow of the Inquisition.
The lovers are always at center stage wrapped in Saramago's language, which ranges from short simple sentences to surrealistic, unpunctuated paragraphs that help to intensify both the action and the setting.

Am citit acest roman 卯nc膬 de c卯nd a fost tradus sub titlul modificat de un cenzor vigilent Memorialul de la Mafra. Nu sun膬 r膬u, dar nu e titlul original.
Englezii au fost 葯i mai inventivi, au 卯nlocuit titlul cu totul 葯i au propus Baltasar and Blimunda. N-au rezolvat mare lucru, au ob葲inut un titlu exotic, 卯n tradi葲ia englezeasc膬, inaugurat膬 de Dichens: Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, ca s膬 nu-l mai amintesc pe Daniel Defoe. Un nume propriu nu sugereaz膬 nimic despre subiectul / topicul romanului, nu tr膬deaz膬 鈥瀒nten葲ia autorului鈥�, 葯i, 卯n opinia lui Umberto Eco, este titlul perfect. Dar: Baltasar and Blimunda nu e titlul lui Saramago, e un tertip negustoresc.
Primul lucru care m-a frapat acum 30 de ani a fost ironia coroziv膬 a prozatorului. Nu scap膬 nimeni, nici imaturul rege Dom Jo茫o V, nici patul monarhic invadat de p膬duchi, unde numitul Jo茫o al V-lea 卯葯i exercit膬 viguros (葯i riguros) datoria conjugal膬 sub plapuma de fulgi adus膬 din Austria de pioasa lui so葲ie, regina Maria Ana. Femeia nu se 卯mpac膬 deloc cu proverbialele 鈥瀏eruri鈥� din Portugalia, nici m膬car augustul ei so葲 nu reu葯e葯te s-o 卯nc膬lzeasc膬, are 卯ntotdeauna m卯inile reci 葯i sufletul 卯nghe葲at. Cu ironie 葯i sarcasm s卯nt descri葯i, de asemenea, episcopii unei inchizi葲ii 卯nt卯rziate (s卯ntem, totu葯i, la 卯nceputul secolului al XVIII-lea), nobilii din cercul regal, consilierii.
La un auto-da-f茅 s卯ngeros, printre spectatori, o 卯nt卯lnim prima dat膬 pe Blimunda, care 葯i-a 卯nso葲it (de departe) mama acuzat膬 de vr膬jitorie 葯i pedepsit膬 la exil 卯n Angola. Blimunda a mo葯tenit ceva din 卯nsu葯irile ei magice, poate privi prin oameni 葯i le poate fura 鈥瀡oin葲ele鈥�. 脦nt卯lnirea dintre Baltasar 葮apte-Sori 葯i Blimunda e prescris膬 葯i inevitabil膬: la sf卯r葯itul ceremoniei, pornesc 卯mpreun膬 spre cas膬, casa din Lisabona a Blimundei, fiindc膬 fostul soldat Baltasar s-a n膬scut 卯n Mafra.
Ce urmeaz膬 葯ti葲i deja. Baltasar 卯l cunoa葯te pe p膬rintele Bartolomeu Louren莽o, un eretic (卯nc膬) nedovedit, obsedat de 卯n膬l葲imi 葯i de libertate. Dup膬 planul ingenios al p膬rintelui Bartolomeu, vor construi o ma葯in膬 zbur膬toare, Passarola (P膬s膬roiul), 葯i se vor 卯n膬l葲a extazia葲i 卯n v膬zduh, deasupra nebuniei 葯i r膬ut膬葲ii omene葯ti. Blimunda mi-a amintit de Margareta a lui Goethe, femeia care 卯ntruchipeaz膬 鈥瀍ternul feminin鈥� 葯i 卯l poate salva pe b膬rbat 卯n cele mai cumplite 卯ncerc膬ri. A葯a se 卯nt卯mpl膬 葯i aici. C卯nd Baltasar, urcat din neb膬gare de seam膬 卯n vehicului zbur膬tor, dispare, Blimunda 卯l va c膬uta statornic, vreme de nou膬 ani (ca Isis pe Osiris, o alt膬 aluzie literar膬): 鈥濵ii de leghe a str膬b膬tut Blimunda, aproape 卯ntotdeauna descul牛膬.

Memorialul m膬n膬stirii e prima capodoper膬 a lui Saramago. C卯nd s-a tip膬rit, autorul 卯mplinise deja 60 de ani. Saramago va fi un exemplu de fecunditate t卯rzie. Roberto Bola帽o n-a avut norocul lui, a murit la 50 de ani. 脦n 1982, Saramago 卯nc膬 nu renun葲ase cu totul la majuscule, virgule, paragrafe. Mai t卯rziu a renun葲at la ele, dar n-a renun葲at 葯i la umor.
P. S. N-am s膬 卯n葲eleg niciodat膬 prin ce e mai poetic 葯i mai potrivit termenul 鈥瀖卯n膬stire鈥� dec卯t mai firescul 鈥瀖膬n膬stire鈥�. A scrie termenul cu 卯 mi se pare un moft gratuit...

King John V ( the Magnanimous ) of Portugal is a frustrated man, to continue the royal dynasty children are obviously needed, ( set back in the year of our Lord, 1711) married two years to the devout Austrian Princess Maria Ana, and yet no babies. At twenty -one, the good-looking monarch feels a little insulted, because of his failures, but the House of Braganza will eventually rule for almost 300 years this small, still wealthy land then and besides other women have proven it's not his fault. So when a Franciscan (St. Francis) friar promises that God will grant the King his wish, through their prayers, if a convent, (monastery) is built for that religious order, John the Fifth agrees readily as soon as the Queen gives birth... happily, it occurs later in the year just a daughter though, but next time a glorious son...The vast Portuguese Empire in Asia, Africa and South America is very rich, money keeps flowing into the royal treasury, they are the envy of the rest of Europe, the all-powerful king can do anything he wants. Mafra, a small town about 17 miles outside Lisbon is chosen for the project's site, at the lower end of the totem pole is an ex, disabled soldier by the name of Baltasar Mateus, nicknamed "Seven Suns". He fought for his Royal Highness against arch enemy Spain, leaving his left hand somewhere in that country, but the authorities have short memories, the patriot has no value to them now. He meets a young woman in magnificent Lisbon, by the name of Blimunda, not the most romantic enjoyable event, her disturbed mother found guilty of heresy, is being exiled to Angola, in Africa, but first a public flogging, seen by thousands of curious people, she will never return home, it's the time of the Inquisition . Baltasar has been trying hopelessly, to get a government pension in the city, with the help of Padre Bartolomeu Lourenco a historical figure, known as the "Flying Man" because he was building a fantastic flying machine, the young King is strangely supporting this bold endeavor . The former soldier had become friends with the brilliant, yet unstable priest, the two, Baltasar and Blimunda helped assemble the flying machine for the padre... Still rulers don't like to give money away, no pension so the new couple decide to go back to Mafra, Baltasar home town, his good parents and sister live there and greet him with tears in their eyes, after so many long years apart. Imagine, 45,000 workers employed in this massive project, building an enormous monastery which is constantly gets bigger and bigger, the King is like a kid in a candy shop, never mind the expense he can't help himself, a fabulous palace for the royals also will be erected, even a poor, one -handed man can get a paying job here. By the way, the intelligent Blimunda has a dark secret she can see inside the bodies of people, with X -ray eyes and check their health, if found out by the notorious Inquisition she'll be inevitably burned at the stake, as a witch. A superior novel , for anyone who likes historical fiction, very well written a gem. The sumptuous National Palace is still standing.

This fiction work is based on an indisputable fact: the reign of John V, King of Portugal, in 1681, which decided on the construction of the Convent of Mafra. This convent was to have a structure similar to that of the Escorial (located on the outskirts of Madrid), built by order of Philip II, King of Spain.
Father Bartolomeu Louren莽o was inspired by a Brazilian priest who pioneered aeronautics.
So, historical data source. Saramago traces the wars, epidemics, and religious festivals of the past. It shows the church's collaboration with the monarchy to exploit the people's colonialism and blindness of those who govern and obey. Therefore, the reader cannot ignore prejudices, ideological lies, and abuses of power. This book does not date; we can easily tie it to the contemporary world because very little has changed. The emphasis was constantly on applying the good recipes of the past, which had already proved their worth.

(5.0+) Before I explain my feelings about Saramago's Baltasar and Blimunda, let me share a couple visuals from the late 17th & 18th Century that are highlighted within the text:
The passarola of Father Bartholomeu de Gusmao
An auto de fe of the Portugeuse Inquisition
Saramago's masterpiece.
343 pages.
Perhaps, the longest 343 pages I've ever tried to read, but very fulfilling in the end; a 5 star like no other that I've rated, 'Baltasar and Blimunda' is historical fiction at its base, but a satirical fairy tale concerning the hypocritical piety in early Modern Europe at its crux.
The language and prose is not only shockingly comical (speaking of the queen as merely a receptacle for reproduction), but philosophical, brutal and beautiful. Also, with his usual 'non-quotation' dialogue, it makes it a bit dense and a slow read, but if you like Saramago, you know what to expect.
In some parts, it feels slightly tedious due to the language, but in actuality it's the reader who needs to have patience; it will work itself out. The character development is superb and nothing is left to wonder, which, for this tale, is perfect. The ending is surprising, but fits.
I can easily see how nobel committee members would award him the prize from this work alone.

A strange book. Who was the hero? What was the story about? How dissatisfying was the end? The author describes three worlds: the opulent wealth and privilege of the king and his nobles, the manifest power and splendor of the church, and the dirty, stinky subsistence living of everyone else.
June 4, 2018
Baltasar and Blimunda revolves around the construction of the monumental monastery in Mafra, an effect of slyness of the Franciscans and vanity of the king of Portugal, Joao V. Thousands labouring workers to satisfy the morbid ambitions of monks and pamper bloated ego of the king remind us of builders pyramids in antiquity. Is it the ancient Egypt or the Catholic Portugal pride of kings and hypocrisy of clergy seems to be unchanged for centuries. Marriage of the altar and the throne always looked the same and the little people as ever were losers. People would kneel before the king, the bishop, the altar, the procession, the image of a saint. They would kneel so often that actually did not get up from their knees at all.
Saramago is wonderfully ironic and blasphemous. And equally ruthless towards monarchy and clergy. He's irreverent when with wry humour is stigmatizing their sanctimony, greed, lecherousness and stupidity, he's sarcastic describing endless ceremonials, the institution of the saints and indulgences, and, what a heresy!, doubting in the divine order of the world.
Meanwhile in the background unfolds unusual story, love of the crippled soldier Baltasar and daughter of woman condemned for witchcraft, Blimunda and their relationship with Padre Bartolemeu Louren莽o who dreams of building passarola, the flying machine. To deny the law of gravity, soar where angels tread, look into the face of God ? Indeed, rather dangerous chimera in the time of the Inquisition.
Baltasar and Blimunda , alternately brutally realistic and wonderfully magical, you can hear echo of magical realism here is a remarkable tale. Saramago鈥檚 style is quite distinguishable, extremely long, complex sentences, often without punctuation, with two narrators all at once. It requires a lot of concentration but it鈥檚 highly original and rewarding reading.
Saramago perfectly balanced insatiable hunger for knowledge and questioning the established order of the world with power of love and man's character to create a powerful and visionary story of the human determination to pursue their dreams, overcome own limitations and rise above dreariness in times when life did not mean too much and people were burning like torches.

I have always thought that one must be full of a creative madness to write the way it is composed this novel. It is a sheer original, brilliant and spellbound novel.
I was tightly and irrevocably encapsulated by the read from page one. And for sure it didn鈥檛 have anything to do with the full moon phenomenon which was happening just this very last weekend鈥y the time I actually finished it.
What a better start of the novel than by writing of this early 18th century Lisbon royal atmosphere:
鈮� Dom Joao, the 5th monarch so named on the royal list, will pay a visit this night to the bedchamber of the Queen, Dona Maria Ana Josefa, who arrived more than two years ago from Austria to provide heirs for the Portuguese crown, and so far has shown no signs of becoming pregnant. Already there are rumors at court, both within and without the royal palace, that the Queen is barren, an insinuation that is carefully guarded from hostile ears and tongues and confided only to intimates. That anyone should blame the King is unthinkable, first because infertility is an evil that befalls not men but women, who for that very reason are often disowned and second, because there is material evidence, should such a thing be necessary, in the horde of bastards produced by the royal semen, who populate the kingdom and even at this moment are forming a procession in the square. Moreover, it is not the King but the Queen who spends all her time in prayer, beseeching a child from heaven, for two good reasons. The first reason is that a king, especially a king of Portugal, does not ask for something that he alone can provide, and the second reason is that a woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled, a natural supplicant, whether she pleads in novenas or in occasional prayers. But neither the perseverance of the King who, unless there is some canonical or physiological impediment, vigorously performs his royal duty twice weekly, nor the patience and humility of the Queen, who, besides praying, subjects herself to total immobility after her husband鈥檚 withdrawal, so that their generative secretions may fertilize undisturbed, her scant from a lack of incentive and time, and because of her deep moral scruples, the King鈥檚 prodigious, as one might expect from a man who is not yet 22-years of age, neither the one factor nor the other has succeeded so far in causing Dona Maria Ana鈥檚 womb to become swollen. Yet God is almighty鈥�. 鈮�
What I am very sure (as much as a human being can be) that I鈥檓 going to remember in a couple of years from this reading is the purely amazing, earthy but also celestial love affair between the two main protagonists -[*unfortunately the 3rd main personage Padre Bartolomeu Lourenco de Gusmao who colored something like a one quarter of the book died far too soon to make a further strong impression鈥ut I鈥檝e missed him even so, he was an extremely brilliant mind for his living times] - Baltasar and Blimunda 鈥� two vagabonds, he a former soldier from a war that left him a disabled man without his left hand, and she, a clairvoyant, a girl with supernatural powers, who can see into things and people if fasting was done, two people who are full of eccentricities and have, from time to time, conversations about transcendental things鈥�
The story gravitates around the creation and building of a Flying machine (the so-called beloved Passarola), enterprise which eventually comes to a successful fruition and, which is going to lead to some dramatic consequences for this trinity of airship inventors, and, on a larger scale, on the construction and erecting of the convent of Mafra, a highly ambitious and hard-labouring project which affects eventually the overall population of the country, because events are always interconnected and no one can escape from the eye of the Church (with the high supervision of the Holy Office of the Inquisition) and the State (as per the King鈥檚 decrees..).
鈮€or it is a well-known fact that the ear has to be educated if one wishes to appreciate musical sounds, just as the eyes must learn to distinguish the value of words and the way in which they are combined when one is reading a text, and the hearing must be trained for one to comprehend speech, These weighty words moderate my frivolous remarks, for it is a common failing among men to say what they believe others wish to hear them say, without sticking to the truth, however, for men to be able to stick to the truth, they must first acknowledge their errors, And commit them, That is a question I couldn鈥檛 answer with a simple yes or no, but I do believe in the necessity of error.鈮�
鈮€e never ask ourselves whether there might not be some wisdom in madness, even while recognizing that we are all a little mad. These are ways of keeping firmly on this side of madness, and just imagine, what would happen if madmen demanded to be treated as if they were equals with the sane, who are only a little mad, on the pretext that they themselves still possess a little wisdom, so as to safeguard, for example, their own existence鈥�>>
I鈥檝e found thoroughly absorbing the whole exuberance of the baroque narrative, blended with cascading discourses and meditations on human existence, religion, criss-crossed questions between intellect and faith on life鈥檚 governing, all flavoured by a comedy, erudite, sometimes surreal writing style of counting the stories that make up for people鈥檚 lives鈥� In the end, Always as something, never as everything, and never as nothing. For, after all, we can escape from everything, but not from ourselves.
My first encounter with the Portuguese Jose Saramago, winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1998, proved to be a perfect match, reading-wise. Enjoyed myself way too much and above of what I can further add here in. Basically, I fully agree with the author鈥檚 statement saying that: 鈮猼he world has been blissfully mad ever since it was conceived. 鈮�

Memorial del convento
I often thought that books can inspire you to travel. But these last two books by Saramago, "El a帽o de la muerte de Ricardo Reis" and "Memorial del convento" have given me a different feeling. After traveling to Portugal last year, both books have become even more real after seeing many of the places visited. Both books have painted different periods of history in Portugal, the early twentieth century in Ricardo Reis; the early eighteenth century in Memorial. Both are amazing tales of the human spirit and I read both in Spanish (apologies for not reading in Portuguese...it does take awhile to master another language).
A special thanks to Jo茫o Carlos for sending me the top twenty five Portuguese Books. Memorial do Convento rings in at number eight and I can see why.
In its heart, this is a love story between Baltazar and Blimunda (also the title in English). Baltazar is a soldier who lost his left hand after the war, returns to Lisbon where he meets Blimunda, who just had her mother sent away to Angola. This is the time of the Inquisition (auto de f茅) and crowds are needed to see the latest victims (two women are also burned to death). Both have lost something and their love begins immediately. Blimunda has the ability to see inside a person and needs to eat bread before opening her eyes every morning. Is she a witch? A non-believer?
They become inseparable. They are given nicknames, Baltazar is Seven Suns because he can see clearly; Blimunda is Seven Moons because she she can see in the dark. " During the night the sun and moon embrace, while the stars turn slowly in the sky. The Moon, from where you came; the Sun, to where you are going. ("T煤 eres Sietesoles porque ves a las claras, t煤 ser谩s Sietelunas porque ves a oscuras, y as铆, Blimunda, que hasta entonces s贸lo se llamaba, como su madre, de Jes煤s, acab贸 siendo Sietelunas, y bien bautizada estaba, que el bautismo fue de cura, no un apodo cualquiera. Durmieron aquella noche los soles y las lunas abrazados, mientras giraban las estrellas lentamente en el cielo, Luna d贸nde est脿s, Sol, ad贸nde vas." (P. 107) You can't get more beautiful than this.
Wrapped around this couple are two other stories: the building of the Convent at Mafra and the concept of the passarola, one of the earliest flying machines. The spectacular convent was built by King Jo茫o V when the queen bore him a daughter. Baltazar gets work at the convent and Saramago spares nothing describing the brutal job for thousands to build this massive project. It made many employees and yet the hardships were many. Under Saramago's acute and often sarcastic eyes I have to admit that I took on a new respect for many of the landmarks that I saw in Europe. The king utters, "Give to Caesar what is from God and give to God what is from Caesar and after we will tally the money, some for me, some for God" (Di al C茅sar lo que es de Dios, y a Dios lo que es del C茅sar, despu茅s haremos las cuentas y partiremos el dinero, un chavo para ti, otro para m铆, en verdad os digo y dir茅, Y Yo, vuestro rey, de Portugal. p.190). Or when the German architect addresses the wealth of the king, he notes the endless money entering the mouth and leaving "...eso es lo qu茅 pasa en Portugal, que es un saco sin fondo, le entera el dinero por la boca y le sale por el culo... (p. 349) Perhaps less of a beautiful sight.
The passarola was designed by the brilliant Brazilian priest Bartolomeu Louren莽o de Gusm茫o. This fabulous work of ingenuity is featured as a drawing by Saramago on the cover - a strange bird like contraption that also becomes the heart of the story. Add to the mix, the Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti and this wonderful play with music, science and art intertwine in one of the most enchanting parts of the book. The priest's religious comparison pokes fun at the holy trinity, now Baltazar, Blimunda and Bartolomeu himself (the three B's), "El cura se acerc贸 a ellos y se abraz贸 tambi茅n, s煤bitamente perturbado por una analog铆a, as铆 lo hab铆a dicho el italiano, Dios 茅l mismo, Baltasar su hijo, Blimundo el Esp铆ritu Santo, y estaban los tres en el cielo, S贸lo hay un Dios, grit贸, por el viento le arrebat贸 las palabras de la boca." (p. 239)
Saramago has fun with us with his commentary and off the cuff remarks throughout the book is what elevates this book. There are very serious sides throughout. The plight of a woman, especially towards the queen, the horror to be the queen, for the grief to be a woman, "for the shame, this life that is; and for the death that comes" (por el horror de ser reina, por el dolor de ser mujer, por las dos penas juntos, por esta vida que se va, por esa muerte que viene. p. 135) or when the teen princess on route to wed her Spanish prince is rebuked by her mother, the queen, "Oh mother, how good it is to be born!" "To be born is to die," the queen responds. And with a dash, "How good to have those philosophical debates on long journey." (Oh, madre, qu茅 es nacer, Nacer es morir, Mar铆a B谩rbara. Lo mejor de los viajes largos son estos filos贸ficos debates.(p.388)
Royalty, religion and the plight of the common worker are always at odds and yet, Saramago doesn't entrench us, he just makes us aware of the issues. Through the dark period of the inquisition, the new wealth brought in from the colonies enabled this period of tremendous economic growth in Portugal. This are changing. But at the heart are people and this fantastical story is about the lovers, a flying machine, a convent and music. His language (yes in Spanish) is some of the best I have read. Easy, long, poetic, reflective verses makes this book hum along at a leisure pace. Truly one of my most enjoyable reads in a very long time.

Bem, c谩 vamos n贸s.
Este foi o primeiro livro de Saramago que li e n茫o ser谩, certamente, o 煤ltimo. Apaixonei-me pela escrita deste t茫o conceituado autor, verdade seja dita. Como se costuma dizer: "primeiro estranha-se, depois entranha-se" e eu tive de adotar os meus m茅todos para que isso acontecesse. A minha pr贸pria m茫e presenciou alguns momentos embara莽osos de leituras e releituras em voz alta de di谩logos confusos... Mas sobrevivi e adorei a experi锚ncia.
Come莽amos pelo Baltasar e pela Blimunda? A mim, parece-me bem... Adorei a rela莽茫o destes dois. Um amor ing茅nuo, puro e cativante que traz ao de cima o melhor dos cora莽玫es humanos. Se sofri com o final? Oh meus caros, eu tenho um grave problema com personagens fict铆cias e quando j谩 me tinha conformado com o desfecho da hist贸ria, o narrador decide lan莽ar a "bomba" nos dois 煤ltimos par谩grafos. N茫o soltei nem uma, nem duas nem mesmo tr锚s l谩grimas... foram aos pares como se elas tivessem sofrido e n茫o se quisessem abandonar umas 脿s outras num momento t茫o (...) emotivo.
Blimunda e Baltasar, Sete-Luas e Sete-S贸is ficar茫o para sempre guardados na minha mem贸ria.
Quanto ao aspecto cr铆tico da obra... Adorei ler a partir da perspectiva deste narrador t茫o perspicaz e inteligente. O not贸rio tom sarc谩stico e ironia propositada em algumas passagens textuais n茫o me seguraram umas boas e agrad谩veis gargalhadas. A descri莽茫o n茫o podia ser mais ousada e adequada ao contexto social da 茅poca e o mais interessante, a meu ver, foi sem d煤vida o relevo dado aos que vivem na sombra deste Portugal entorpecido da primeira metade do s茅culo XVIII. Um povo que vive na pen煤ria, que luta por um pa铆s cujo rei usa e abusa do poder lhe fora concedido para satisfazer o seu "pequenino" ego.
Uma grande v茅nia a este senhor... Muita pena tenho eu de s贸 agora dar valor a este fant谩stico escritor portugu锚s! Palmas!

Za svoj prvi prikaz knjige na ovom sajtu sam izabrao, po mom mi拧ljenju, najzna膷ajnije literarno delo dvadesetog veka, u neku ruku skrajnuto, iako oven膷ano nagradama, stilski i strukturalno za koplje prevazilazi maestralni 鈥濻to godina samo膰e鈥� Saramagove velike zvezde vodilje Markesa (iako to nikada nije javno priznao).
Tako膽e treba napomenuti da sam ovaj prevod 膷itao u izdanju sada ve膰 nepostoje膰e ku膰e 鈥濴ingua Franca鈥� u prevodu detaljnog i posve膰enog Dejana Tijaga Stankovi膰a koji je svoj 啪ivot posvetio portugalskom jeziku. Lagunino izdanje ne mogu da komentari拧em jer ga nisam i nikad ne膰u imati u rukama.
Uvodna gre拧ka svakog opisa jeste da je ovo istorijski roman, 拧to samo govori o povr拧nosti ve膰ine 膷italaca. U pitanju je ljubavni roman i to jo拧 najlep拧e i najkompleksnije ljubavne pri膷e (kako sam autor potvr膽uje u intervju za Paris Review iz 鈥�98 godine). U nemogu膰nosti da se bilo koje Saramagovo delo opi拧e, da se predstavi publici, le啪i dokaz njegovog genija. Baltazar i Blimunda (kako glasi originalni naziv ovog dela) je sam vrh njegovog virtuoza, od svojevrsnog stila, koji je i u mom pisanju napravio sna啪an zaokret, do suptilnog razvoja likova, bri拧i膰i granicu izme膽u tragedije i komedije, sve to uvijaju膰i u istoriske i dru拧tvene 膷injenice koje ovde slu啪e samo kao potpora pri膷i kao najsvetlijem primeru magi膷nog realizma. Ne smemo ni izostaviti iz vida da je Saramago predvodnik evropskog skepticizma u modernoj literaturi, daju膰i nasle膽enom latinoameri膷kom realizmu dozu ironije, skoro ga膽enja prema nasilnom evropskom napretku, probadaju膰i ga vi拧eslojnim prikazima kontradikornosti.
Za razliku od Sto godina koji je roman o tragi膷noj repetativnosti sudbine latinske Amerike (Istorija je groblje elita, u膷eni膷e鈥�), Sedam Sunaca je roman o odnosu potla膷enih i vladaju膰ih, vernika i nevernika, napredku i sanjala膷koj viziji civilizacije koja je sve vreme leti na plamenu 鈥瀘bi膷nog para鈥� koji svoju ljubav duguje posve膰eo拧膰u, 啪rtvovanjem i razumu. 鈥濼ek kada sam napisao roman鈥�, re膰i 膰e Saramago deceniju kasnije 鈥渟hvatio sam da sam napisao ljubavnu pri膷u, a da ni jednom u romanu nisam izgovorio re膷 ljubav鈥�.
Tako膽e treba napomenuti da sam ovaj prevod 膷itao u izdanju sada ve膰 nepostoje膰e ku膰e 鈥濴ingua Franca鈥� u prevodu detaljnog i posve膰enog Dejana Tijaga Stankovi膰a koji je svoj 啪ivot posvetio portugalskom jeziku. Lagunino izdanje ne mogu da komentari拧em jer ga nisam i nikad ne膰u imati u rukama.

Lisabon zaudara, zaudara na trule啪, a miris tamjana daje nekakav smisao ovome smradu kvarnosti ljudskih tijela, jer du拧a je miomirisna.
Saramagov stil pisanja miluje o膷i i du拧u poput kakvog delfina koji miluje more. Poslije ove knjige osje膰am sve ve膰u potrebu da ga 膷itam. U po膷etku je bilo te拧ko 膷itati ga i mislio sam da zadugo ne膰u zavr拧iti knjigu, a onda malo po malo po膷eo je da otvara vrata u neka prostranstva, koja su surova, ali istovremeno i lijepa, a koja tako膽e daju neke poglede na odre膽ene stvari. Jednostavno, po膷eo je da me zadivljuje. Saramago je nekada ironi膷an, a nekada i tragi膷an. 艩to 膰e re膰i ironi膷no-tragi膷an. Istan膷anost kojom je predstavio dva glavna lika, koja se nalaze u oreolu hijerarhije, zatim njihove patnje za vrijeme inkvizicije u poslije ratnom periodu, njihovo u膷estovanje u izgradnji lete膰e ma拧ine koja je i glavna ideja romana i njihov poku拧aj segregacije iz svega toga je upe膷atljiva. Njegova proza na jedan uredan, kulturan, drzak i filozofski na膷in prikazuje situaciju u Portugalu, rekav拧i da je to zemlja budu膰nosti, ali i da je to jedan prosta膷ki narod s obzirom na vremenski period u kojem se pri膷a odvija. Kada samo pomislim da je dao naziv knjige Sedam Sunaca i Sedam luna i vratim se na na pri膷u iste, prosto da ne povjerujem kakvu veliku insinuaciju je napravio!

It is my first Saramago and I am generally impressed. I loved the hypnotic, almost Homeric writing style. And I enjoyed the fable. Some episodes within this novel such as the flight were breathtaking. However, the main subject matter was not totally mine. I did not have particular interest in the main plot or the characters related to Portuguese royalty. So rating is more me than Saramago. I am sure we would get alone with him doing more fabulist plot in other books.

Continuou a deslumbrar-me, a maravilhar-me e a afectar-me como se da primeira leitura se tratasse. 脡 uma obra-prima, 茅 do Mestre e 茅 sempre um regresso a casa, do mais aconchegante poss铆vel!

I picked up this book while traveling through Portugal this fall. Last summer, I read my first Saramango book, Blindness, and loved it. Walking along the riverfront in Lisbon, I ran into the Jos茅 Saramango Foundation where there was an exhibit on his work and that of the famous Brazilian author Jorge Amado. It was as though I were a kid in a candy store! There were thousands of Saramango books in the library, and the bookshop carried many of his major works; unfortunately, it only had one in english. I asked the attendant which was her favorite and she said, without hesitation, 鈥淢emorial do Convento鈥� ( the original title for Baltasar and Blimunda). This was, per her knowledge, what made Saramango famous in Portugal. I picked up a Spanish translation, as my knowledge of Portuguese is nonexistent.
The Memorial do Convento is a wonderful portrait of eighteenth century Portugal. As in the typical Saramango style, there is a mixture of reality, history, fantasy, humor, and endless descriptions of contextual facts and surroundings. For those new to Saramango, there will be the initial uphill battle of deciphering and decoding sentences four or five pages long, a lack of paragraph indentation and periods, and a plethora of commas separating dialogues, questions, and answers, of one to various characters鈥� Saramango leaves it up to the reader to identify the speaker. Sometimes, one has to finish a pages-long sentence and re-read it to finally grasp the idea, all this being a surprisingly addictive exercise of the mind.
I must confess, though, that I found his complex style frustrating initially; I blamed the translations (so far I have read Blindness in French and this one in Spanish) and often doubted my capacity to understand what I read. After finally overcoming these frustrations, I must confess that I am now totally hooked on this style. How can I go back to reading orthodox literature with beautiful, easy, and predictable punctuation; long pauses to rest the mind between paragraphs and take a breath between numbered chapters as opposed to this breathless marathon of words, flight of ideas, numerous characters and circumstances dancing around endlessly between commas, and the constant demand to figure out who said what or whether it happens now, it already happened, it will never happen, or is it only a dream?!!!! Without a doubt, I will choose the latter 鈥揳 thousand times over.
After reading this book, I feel as though I had lived in Portugal in the 1700鈥檚. Saramango鈥檚 treatment of five distinct but intertwined themes, including history, personal relationships, socio-economic struggle, religion and persecution, and magic is impeccable. The love story is real, poetic, passionate, romantic, transcendental, and even eternal; a beautiful tool for linking the unbelievable, the ugly, the cruel, the unjust, the hopeful, the scientific, the despicable, the surreal, and the downright mad. A book that will definitively leave you thinking and thirsty for more...

Algu茅m me deveria ter dado um par de estalos e obrigado a ler este livro no secund谩rio... que hist贸ria de amor bel铆ssima! Cheio de cr铆tica e realismo m谩gico, fic莽茫o hist贸rica e humor, cada vez gosto mais de ler Saramago <3
(N茫o adianta alongar-me na opini茫o, visto que 茅 uma das leituras do secund谩rio e haver谩 bem mais completas, mas irei recomendar vivamente a leitura deste livro!)

I love almost everything related to the European Middle Ages and this novel was one of the best I've ever encountered on the topic. It helped me explore more about Portuguese culture, as well, and intrigued to go even deeper into it.
I loved the story of Father Louren莽o Bartolomeu, the real historical figure who invented a flying machine in the early 1700s, and the way it blends into the lives of the other main characters. I loved the mysticism blended with the vulgar and the realism of Portuguese social life of the late medieval period.
I also loved the fact that the cornerstone of the novel is a love story between two very working class characters. Their worldview is touching and extremely interesting, insofar as it reveals what the Portuguese peasant thought of the world.
The brief glimpses of aristocratic life are meaningfully similar, but less humanized. Blimunda's touches of the supernatural bring emotion, and the fact that they don't necessarily turn her into a pillar of wisdom is endearing. It's also interesting that the book offers insight into a passionate romance between two people in their late 40s and 50s. Baltasar and Blimunda is overall out of the ordinary and a beautiful, beautiful book. I will probably reread it in 10 years or so.

Saramago mistura factos hist贸ricos com fic莽茫o e conta-nos o passado com os olhos no presente. Adoro a forma como interv茅m frequentemente na hist贸ria que est谩 a narrar e fala connosco. A hist贸ria de amor de Blimunda e Sete-S贸is 茅 bonita, carnal e eterna...
"Mas 茅 um constante sol para esta mulher, n茫o por sempre brilhar, mas por existir tanto, escondido de nuvens, tapado de eclipses, mas vivo, Santo Deus, e abre-lhe os bra莽os, quem, abre-os ele a ela, abre-os ela a ele, ambos, s茫o o esc芒ndalo da vila de Mafra, agarrarem-se assim um ao outro na pra莽a p煤blica, e com idade de sobra, talvez seja porque nunca tiveram filhos, talvez porque se vejam mais novos do que s茫o, pobres cegos, ou porventura ser茫o estes os 煤nicos seres humanos que como s茫o se v锚em, 茅 esse o modo mais dif铆cil de ver, agora que eles est茫o juntos at茅 os nossos olhos foram capazes de perceber que se tornaram belos" 鉂�

Releitura
Oficialmente esta foi a segunda leitura, mas tenho a certeza de que foram mais.
Continua a ser um deslumbramento.
Seguramente um dos melhores romances hist贸ricos que se editaram neste pa铆s.
O romance hist贸rico fascina-me. Quando a fic莽茫o 鈥榲ai para o futuro鈥�, cient铆fica, dizem-na, na aus锚ncia de melhor designa莽茫o, a liberdade do autor 茅 total. Inventa o que lhe trouxer o engenho e a arte e n茫o tem satisfa莽玫es a dar, nem limites.
O romance hist贸rico 茅 mais complexo. O autor 茅 obrigado a umas certas baias, as do enquadramento (ambiental) e tamb茅m de uns tantos factos verific谩veis, sem o respeito dos quais, os leitores gritar茫o: anacronismo ou falsidade.
Isso fascina-me.
Que mix t茫o rico escolheu JS para esta obra-prima: a riqueza Joanina j谩 a definhar, uma Inquisi莽茫o que foi instrumental para a Restaura莽茫o, mas que j谩 come莽a a cansar, o padre vision谩rio que imaginou e construiu a Passarola e os dois personagens maiores, Baltasar e Blimunda, ambos astrais, sete-s贸is e sete-luas.
Sublime. Muito bom. J谩 deveria ter relido/trelido mais cedo, mas a TBR 茅 sempre t茫o longa鈥�

Tentei ler isto com 16 anos e achei que era perfeitamente ileg铆vel, um assassinato completo da l铆ngua portuguesa. Li-o aos 30, numas f茅rias nos Biscoitos, ilha Terceira. Como foi poss铆vel passar mais de uma d茅cada sem que eu tivesse tentado de novo ler este livro? Blimunda 茅 a personagem favorita de qualquer leitor, de todas as personagens de todos os escritores que o leitor tenha conhecido. A prosa de Saramago chega a ser po茅tica: 'Dormiram nessa noite os sois e as luas abra莽ados, enquanto as estrelas rodavam lentamente no c茅u. Lua aonde est谩s, sol aonde vais', sobre o amor de Baltasar e Blimunda. E tanto, tanto mais... este livro 茅 tanto mais...

H谩 tanto que andava a adiar a leitura deste livro,...e nem sei bem porqu锚, gostei de todos os outros livros que li de Jos茅 Saramago, mas este, mesmo sem saber muito do seu conte煤do, deduzi que seria mais "pesado e chato"...
E n茫o 茅 que adorei?!!
A escrita 茅 cativante, a linguagem tem o poder especial de tudo iluminar... e aquela t茫o indicada cr铆tica sobre a sua pontua莽茫o(ou falta dela), torna-se para mim, aquela velha m谩xima de o que 茅 estranho de in铆cio, bem r谩pido se entranha.
Este livro est谩 repleto daquelas boas e marcantes frases que encaixam t茫o bem nos valores e discernimento da vida.
"Porque, enfim, podemos fugir de tudo, n茫o de n贸s pr贸prios."
Depois vem aquela bem mordaz ironia e sarcasmo com que critica v谩rios temas da sociedade daquele tempo, que se encaixam, por vezes, n茫o bem, nos dias de hoje.
Adorei aquela sua arte de transformar v谩rios prov茅rbios populares...
"脡 para todos, a chuva, quando cai"
"Fazer o bem olhando a quem"...
O contexto hist贸rico primorosamente entrela莽ado com a fic莽茫o, onde os personagens hist贸ricos est茫o entre os peculiares e fant谩sticos personagens inventados e onde at茅 uma hist贸ria de amor acontece...bem visto, ao estilo de Saramago, e sem qualquer toque de novela mexicana, apenas bonita nos detalhes simples...da luz do sol ao brilho misterioso da lua, do nascer ao amadurecer, at茅 ao final de uma vida.
Tudo isto e muito mais, fazem deste livro uma "viagem" magn铆fica..
Um memorial liter谩rio que cont茅m a nossa hist贸ria e muito mais, e que vale a pena conhecer!

Mafra tem um monumento nacional e a l铆ngua portuguesa tem este monumento liter谩rio. Das descri莽玫es 脿s personagens, passando pela narrativa, tudo 茅 perfeito aqui. E, no fim, apetece abra莽ar Saramago e agradecer-lhe por isto, por ter escrito um livro que fica a viver em n贸s, por muito tempo que passe.
