Additional information
Based on José Saramago's book "Journey to Portugal," the places described by the writer, the landscapes, the communities, and the natural and cultural heritage were revisited.
Across twelve itineraries, writer José Luís Peixoto took on the role of host to five international authors: Adriana Lisboa (Brazil), Ondjaki (Angola), Maaza Mengiste (USA), Laura Restrepo (Spain), and Leila Slimani (France). Together, they reinterpreted the routes from forty years ago, creating original texts about the places to showcase the timelessness of Portuguese literary landscapes.
«"It is necessary to see what has not been seen, to see again what has already been seen, to see in spring what was seen in summer, to see by day what was seen by night…"
"We need to revisit the steps that have been taken, repeat them, and chart new paths."»
