Jose Saramago
Description
For Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago, to travel is to discover. In this program, Saramago explores the village of Azinhaga, the streets and neighborhoods of Lisbon, and Lanzarote, the northeasternmost of the Canary Islands. Excerpts from Viagem a Portugal, O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis: romance, and Cadernos de Lanzarote: diario illustrate landmarks such as the Rabo dos Cagados, the Rocho do Conde de Obidos, the crater field of Geria, the house of Cesar Manrique, and the otherworldly Timanfaya National Park from a point of view uniquely his own.
