By José Saramago

Un volumen que re?ne dos libros de art?culos de Jos? Saramago, escritos entre 1968 y 1972 para el diario A Capital y el semanario Jornal do Fund?o.

Los dos libros agrupados en este volumen contienen art?culos escritos con un lenguaje claro y directo, en los que se conjuga la reflexi?n, la observaci?n y la cr?tica de temas muy diversos.

De este mundo y del otro es una serie de cr?nicas breves acerca de la vida cotidiana y sus misterios. En Las maletas del viajero, Saramago habla de su ni?ez, su familia, sus vivencias y los enga?os de la pol?tica, as? como de la vida de las ciudades, el arte y los museos.

En los dos casos, su prosa demuestra un fino humor y una iron?a que invita a su lectura. El conjunto nos permite entrever a un escritor directo y cercano, que parece dialogar con sus lectores de viva voz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A volume that compiles two collections of articles written by Jos? Saramago between 1968 and 1972 for the journal A Capital and the weekly Jornal do Fund?o.

Both books in this volume contain articles written with a clear and straight-forward language, in which reflectiveness, observation, and the review of several topics come together.

Of This World and the Next is a series of brief chronicles about everyday life and its mysteries. In The Traveler's Luggage, Saramago speaks of his childhood, his family, his experiences, and political deceptions, as well as city life, art, and museums. In both cases, his prose expresses a fine humor and the kind of irony that invites one to keep on reading. Put together, the two works offer a glimpse at a close and forthright author, seemingly conversing with his readers in person.
