Synopsis "Memorial del Convento (in Spanish)"

El volumen recorre un periodo de aproximadamente 30 años en la historiade Portugal durante la época de la Inquisición. El planteamientoregistra no sólo el hecho histórico, sino que reconstruye la vidapopular de la época, en un recorrido por los diferentes pueblos de losalrededores de Lisboa.El rey D. Joâo V necesitaba herederos y, como doña Maria Ana no losconcebía, él promete levantar un convento en Mafra a cambio de tenerherederos. Simultáneamente, asistimos a la vida cotidiana del pueblo através de la visión de un soldado que perdió la mano izquierda en laguerra contra los españoles. En un auto de la Inquisición, Baltasarconoce a Blimunda, una mujer con poderes mágicos que ve dentro de laspersonas, y cuya madre fue desterrada a Angola por tener poderessemejantes. Desafiando los rigores de la religión, ambos se casanmediante un ritual de sangre. Baltasar se convierte en ayudante delpadre Bartolomeu, que, bajo la protección del rey, trabajaba en inventaruna máquina para volar. La máquina de volar simboliza dos ideales: loscultos, representados por el propio padre Bartolomeu, y los populares,personificados en Blimunda y Baltasar.Una narración directa, sin concesiones, vigorosa y rica. Saramago da allenguaje de esta novela el tono de las narraciones históricas y realizacon él verdaderos malabarismos sintácticos.

Es una obra maravillosa, como todas las suyas. Llena de ese humor sutil que lo caracteriza. Es densa. Uno llega a amar a Baltasar y Blumilda, esa pareja de campesinos que vagan por su región ayudando al Padre Bartolomeu a construir su máquina de volar. Maravillosa obra.
