Raised from the Ground
This deeply personal work, follows the changing fortunes of the Mau-Tempo family - poor, landless peasants not unlike the author s own grandparents. Saramago charts the lives of the family in Alentjo, southern Portugal, as national and international events rumble on in the background - the coming of the republic in Portugal, the First and Second World Wars, and an attempt on the dictator Salazar s life. Yet, nothing seriously impinges on the farm labourers lives until the first stirrings of communism.
