Description
In a world where the Iberian Peninsula has mysteriously broken away and is drifting into the Atlantic, a group of strangers finds themselves on a journey to escape their fate. As their makeshift raft, a colossal stone island, carries them across the vast ocean, they must confront not only the perils of nature but also the complexities of their own relationships and the societal structures they left behind. This allegorical novel explores themes of isolation, collective identity, and the search for meaning in a world adrift, all rendered in Saramago's signature, unpunctuated prose that challenges conventional narrative.
