Baltasar Ile Blimunda

18. In Baltasar and Blimunda, which takes place in Portugal, which was shaken by wars and epidemics in the 19th century, Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago skillfully adds two different stories woven with historical facts to the novel while telling an impressive love story: The royal family built a monastery to celebrate the birth of the heir they were waiting for; Father Bartolomeu, who tried to make the Passarola, the first device that would allow humans to fly; and two lovers: Baltasar, who lost his left arm in the war, and the beautiful Blimunda, who could see what ordinary people could not see and whose mother was burned by the inquisition because she was a witch. Mafra Monastery, which is the project of the government, and Passarola, which is the project of human will, stand out as the two important heroes of the novel. Baltasar and Blimunda, which shows the fine line between genius and madness and combines real events into a magical narrative, is an unforgettable masterpiece full of intelligence and excitement. José Saramago has prepared a feast for his readers with his masterful fiction, intense irony and the philosophical questioning of his characters. With the masterful translation of Isik Ergüden.
