Overview: First published in 1973, A Traveller’s Bagage consists of more than 59 chronicles, first published in the evening newspaper A Capital (1969) and in the “Jornal do Fundão” (1971-1972). In these chronicles, we see much of Saramago, who was restless about the situation in his country at the time and opposed to Marcelo Caetano’s government.
From the lies of politics and advertising to the poetry of small everyday gestures, from the secret life of cities to the mysteries hidden in artistic creation, nothing escapes the writer’s keen eye. Armed with humor, irony, and a constant attention to the pitfalls of language, Saramago reveals in this book another facet of his concentrated expression: he thus elevates the chronicle to the level of the great novels that made him famous.
