Synopsis

The International Conference “José Saramago: 20 Years with the Nobel Prize” was a unique opportunity to reflect upon and debate the work of a great writer. During a period of three days, the conference provided the forum to reassess the author’s writing and propose new areas of investigation on many aspects of the writer’s vast and multifaceted work: his novels and the main themes that are represented in them; the characters and their modes of existence; his poetry, theater and chronicle writing; and the adaptations in fiction and other art forms, were the object of study of close to five dozen presentations, by scholars from a variety of countries, predominantly from Portugal and Brazil.
