This is a rambling, single story, s Visiting monuments of superior cultural interest, in the context of the Portuguese people churches, museums, monasteries , mixed with some words with their personal stamp, I should not consider this work the most meritorious of Saramago.

It is also a portrait of the deep Portugal, both urban and rural. Saramago is a congenial travel companion, although I have to admit to less of an interest in churches than he displays. Actually, than most people display. It was over-ambitious of me to think that I would actually read all of this before travelling to Portugal, and maybe, maybe it was over-ambitious of Saramago to think that he could create something that was neither guide book nor travel book.

Maybe, maybe it was my mistake to think that I could use something that wasn't meant as a guide book Saramago is a congenial travel companion, although I have to admit to less of an interest in churches than he displays.

Infinito Real

Maybe, maybe it was my mistake to think that I could use something that wasn't meant as a guide book as one. It was certainly my mistake to think I could read a travel book. The beauty of the writing and the pleasure of the company doesn't quite make up for the fact that basically, he's visiting places that have little to offer apart from, yawn a church. Oh, and another church.

In a place where the people use the church as a place to celebrate mass, and don't think of it as a place to visit. The voice is a delight. I did enjoy his company. But I think I would have to take a year out of my life to follow his journey with the kind of respect and attention that would be his due. View all 7 comments. Take the long way home In those old days way before smart phones and Google maps, one read a travel guide book to learn something about the place you just found along the road.

You want some historical facts, maybe a funny anecdote and a little relevance as to why this place is in the guide book in the first place. Sometimes it helps; sometimes, not. So what if your guide book was written by a Nobel laureate? Is it a better guide? Are the anecdotes better? Well for one, and having been to Portugal, there are a lot of churches, castles and places to stop for lunch. But they are so good there. Democracy is still young and the country is very poor.

Estrada Infinita, Peneda-Gerês, Portugal

He begins, in the far northeast, Tras-do-montes, made famous much later in The High Mountains of Portugal. Saramago is quick to point out he is not a tourist, but a traveler. To travel is to discover; a tourist only encounters. Admission was either free or make a donation. Saramago asked a lot of questions, observed, got lost, met some odd encounters and documented his native Portugal. He is a well-known atheist and yet he was fascinated by all those churches.

Very similar to Julian Barnes too. He was also a well known communist and only once did he visit a collective in the Alentejo. But his fascination for his country shows. This comes as an odd review. I think for many, it can be a little dated and maybe a little boring.

Easily a three star rating. For me it was the opposite. His good humour keeps me entertained. And there are so many places I still need to see. And interestingly he calls Casa do bicos in Lisboa one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.

Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugal's History and Culture by José Saramago

Years later his Foundation would be located in this house, and having visited it, I heartily agree with him. As a Saramago fan, I am too biased. It was a fun journey, one that I made in his own language too. And with that I can only thank him for such a pleasurable, long way home. And when ready, the traveler gladly carries on the journey.

You have to see what you missed the first time, see again, what you already saw, see in springtime what you saw in summer, in daylight what you saw at night, see the sun shining where you saw the rain falling, see the crops growing, the fruit ripen, the stone which has moved, the shadow that was not there before. You have to go back to the footsteps already taken, to go over them again or add fresh ones alongside them.

You have to start the journey anew. The traveller sets out once more. If you talk to him in a bar or the cloister of a monastery if could change your life.
