Undoubtedly José Saramago, Nobel Prize 1.998, I am one of the authors of reference, for his views on many issues and some of their essential books as The Gospel According to Jesus Christ , Blindness (same as the director Fernando Meirelles filmed under the name Blindness) and The Cave impossible for me to forget that afternoon in the Company De Jesus, Antigua Guatemala, where he gave a lecture that very few authors can make today, the thought of an author who questions and digs into every corner of your environment, which is not afraid to think and explain what you think .
One can agree or disagree with the ideas of one person, but at the time in which it exposes them to a depth and clarity so irrefutable as he does, I think it's, if not share, at least analyze , is that Saramago was in charge of raising a left and a thinking atheism, consistent with currently little warm to the ideas, and from this trench has become one of the more concrete analysis of what is our world today, with all its contradictions and all such attempts to manipulate culture to make it a mere instrument of domination.
But, and there is always a but, for some time now I wonder how a man who has so clearly the processes by which society is governed and which currently opposes at every opportunity you have to say, has not noticed is an important part of the same gear, it turns out that Mr. Saramago from the opposition has become one of the authors more profitable and more presence in the market, posting an incredible amount of books, including a tourist guide, are not necessarily required and that they keep amazing today in the publishing market, just as do all those ready-made products of both despise.
