Overview

Una encantadora fábula moderna sobre los irrenunciables anhelos humanos
 
En una tierra sin nombre ni tiempo, un hombre llama a la puerta del rey para pedirle un barco con que zarpar en busca de la isla desconocida. Las trabas burocráticas que le ponen, la dificultad para emprender el viaje, la procedencia de la tripulación, los pertrechos necesarios y hasta el sitio de la presunta isla serán el objeto de esta narración en apariencia sencilla, pero que va ganando hondura con cada página.
 
Al cabo, lo que podría pasar por una simple fábula se convertirá en un fascinante cuento filosófico capaz de satisfacer tanto a los lectores de Voltaire como de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Con humor y sabiduría, Saramago nos regala una pequeña obra maestra sobre los anhelos permanente de la humanidad.

Nuestra edición se completa con las fabulosas ilustraciones de Manuel Estrada, que resaltan el misterio y el encanto presentes en la imaginación del Nobel portugués.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
 
Nobel Prize–winning author Saramago departs from his usual dense, linguistic style to write a “mischievous and thoughtful satire on ruling elites and bold dreamers, cast in the form of revisionist fairy-tale” (Kirkus Reviews).
 
“A man went to knock at the king's door and said, Give me a boat. The king's house had many other doors, but this was the door for petitions. Since the king spent all his time sitting at the door for favors (favors being offered to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking at the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear . . .”
 
Why the petitioner required a boat, where he was bound for, and who volunteered to crew for him, the reader will discover in this delightful fable, a philosophic love story worthy of Swift or Voltaire.
