Las pequenas memorias (Memories from My Youth) (Narrativa (Punto de Lectura)) (Spanish Edition)

Saramago 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.'' Jose Saramago Description in Spanish: ''Me interesa conocer mi relacion con ese nino que fui. Ese nino esta en mi, siempre ha estado y siempre lo estara. Un adulto escribe memorias de adulto, acaso para decir: ''Miren que importante soy''. He hecho memorias de nino, y me he sentido nino haciendolas; queria que los lectores supieran de donde salio el hombre que soy. Asi que me centre en unos anos, de los cuatro a los quince''.
