Publisher's Synopsis
"Me interesa conocer mi relación con ese niño que fui. Ese niño está en mì, siempre ha estado y siempre lo estará."
&«Un adulto escribe memorias de adulto, acaso para decir: "Miren qué importante soy". He hecho memorias de niño, y me he sentido niño
haciéndolas; querìa que los lectores supieran de dónde salió el hombre que soy. Asì que me centré en unos años, de los cuatro a los quince.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSaramago writes about his childhood: some parts in Azhinaga, the town where he was born, and other parts in Lisbon where he left to when he was two. With the poetic prose that characterizes him and without any trace of resentment, Saramago narrates the misery in which his family lived. Contains photos with comments made in his own handwriting. "A person writes about their adult memoirs perhaps to say, 'Look how important I am'. […] So, I focused on the years from four to fifteen." ?José Saramago
