A bagagem do viajante pdf by Jose Saramago

Uma viagem pela selva da vida contemporânea é o que José Saramago propõe ao leitor com estas crônicas, que partem dos mais variados assuntos - uma cena de rua ou uma notícia de jornal - para apresentar uma surpreendente releitura do mundo. Das mentiras da política e da publicidade à poesia dos pequenos gestos cotidianos, da vida secreta das cidades aos mistérios que se escondem na criação artística, nada escapa ao olhar arguto do escritor. Armado com o humor, a ironia e uma constante atenção às armadilhas da linguagem, Saramago revela neste livro uma outra faceta de sua expressão concentrada: eleva assim a crônica à altura dos grandes romances que o consagraram.
