655 Руб.A majestic tale, rich in allegory, wit and philosophy; another masterpiece from the Nobel prize-winning novelist Jose Saramago. What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating Spain and Portugal from the rest of Europe? In Saramago's fable, a new island is sent spinning through the ocean like a great stone raft. While the authorities panic and tourists flee, three men, two women and a dog are drawn together by omens that burden them with a peculiar responsibility.
