Synopsis "Las Pequeñas Memorias / Memories from My Youth (in Spanish)"

La presente obra, una joya literaria que recupera recuerdos de infancia y adolescencia del autor. Me interesa conocer mi relación con ese niño que fui. Ese niño que está en mí, siempre lo ha estado y siempre lo estará. Un adulto escribe memorias de adulto, acaso para decir: "Miren que importante soy". He hecho memorias de niño y me he sentido niño haciéndolas; quería que los lectores supieran de dónde salió el hombre que soy. Así que me centré en unos años, de los cuatro a los quince. Con un estilo sencillo y desnudo, Saramago describe los hechos, grandes y pequeños, que nunca, desde aquellos tiernos años, lograron desvanecerse en el tejido del recuerdo. De todos ellos, los más vívidos serán aquellos que acompañaron el despertar de su vocación de escritor: las largas horas pasadas en la encrucijada de los ríos que bañaban las tierras de cultivo de la aldea, las carreras entre los olivares, la contemplación del atardecer, la luna más luminosa que jamás alcanzara a ver mientras conducía los cerdos a la feria junto con su tío Manuel, la felicidad de acabar la tarea encomendada por su abuelo bajo una lluvia torrencial, la magia de los cines de barrio de Lisboa, la contemplación del cielo estrellado junto a su abuela en el ocaso de su vida, el arraigo a la tierra, la soledad meditabunda del adolescente... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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." ?José Saramago
