About the book

The narrator's memories of a lost childhood paradise focus on two glorious days when he helped his uncle take some piglets to the market in Santarem. They traverse dusty roads, sleep in a barn and awake to a miraculous moonglow, and hear the animals in their 'infinite conversations.' The journey, the night, the wind, the light... This poetic story is an unforgettable adventure narrated by Jose Saramago and presented alongside Armando Fonseca's fanciful and evocative illustrations. A very special gift for readers of all ages.
