520 Silvestre and Mariana, a happily married elderly couple,
take in a young nomad, Abel, and soon discover their many
differences. Adriana loves Beethoven more than any man,
but her budding sexuality brings new feelings to the
surface. Carmen left Galicia to marry humble Emilio, but
hates Lisbon and longs for her first love, Manolo. Lidia
used to work the streets, but now she's kept by Paulo, a
wealthy man with a wandering eye. These are just some of
the characters in this early work, completed by Saramago
in 1953 but never published until now. With his
characteristic compassion, depth, and wit, Saramago shows
us the quiet contentment of a happy family and the
infectious poison of an unhappy one. We see his
characters' most intimate moments as well as the casual
encounters particular to neighbors living in close
proximity.
520 Relates the intertwined stories of the residents of a
faded apartment building in 1940s Lisbon.
520 "A previously unpublished novel by a literary master,
Skylight tells the intertwined stories of the residents of
a faded apartment building in 1940s Lisbon. Silvestre and
Mariana, a happily married elderly couple, take in a young
nomad, Abel, and soon discover their many differences.
Adriana loves Beethoven more than any man, but her budding
sexuality brings new feelings to the surface. Carmen left
Galicia to marry humble Emilio, but hates Lisbon and longs
for her first love, Manolo. Lidia used to work the streets,
but now she's kept by Paulo, a wealthy man with a
wandering eye. These are just some of the characters in
this early work, completed by Saramago in 1953 but never
published until now. With his characteristic compassion,
depth, and wit, Saramago shows us the quiet contentment of
a happy family and the infectious poison of an unhappy
one. We see his characters' most intimate moments as well
as the casual encounters particular to neighbors living in
close proximity. Skylight is a portrait of ordinary people,
painted by a master of the quotidian, a great observer of
the immense beauty and profound hardships of the modern
world"--|cProvided by publisher.
