Jose Saramago: The Notebook

The Notebook


Description

Provocative and lyrical, "The Notebook" is a record of a year in the life of Jose Saramago. On the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, the author started jotting down his reflections on the world in which he lives. He evokes life in his beloved city of Lisbon, conversations with friends, and meditations on his favourite authors, often rendered with pointillist detail: precise observations on stories and moments of arresting significance that together comprise an acute view of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel's bombardment of Gaza, traces the ongoing inquiry into the execution of the Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes on the London Underground, and charts the transition from the era of George W. Bush to that of Barack Obama. Available for the first time in English, "The Notebook" offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the most original writers of our time.

A warning: 'You should never monkey around with a Beastie!' Once upon a time a little boy and girl named Paul and Judy had a pet called Beastie. Unfortunately, Paul and Judy weren't very nice to Beastie. In fact - they were downright naughty. They pulled Beastie's fur and jiggled Beastie's eyes. They tickled his feet and plucked his boogers. 'Always be kind to your pets!' they were reminded again and again - but Paul and Judy never listened. Boy, were they sorry! Artist Henrik Drescher's decidedly wicked parody of "Pat the Bunny", is back in a sturdier board-book format and more engaging illustrations. "Pat the Beastie" is an interactive touch-and-feel, pull-and-poke book that comes with pop-ups, squishers, The Notebook download book squeezers, and squeakers - not to mention two brightly colored wormy boogers. Readers will love to join in with the mischievous Paul and Judy as they have fun 'playing' with their pet Beastie, squishing and jiggling and playing peekaboo. (Hey, Beastie deserves some respect!) But after readers see what happens when you cross a Beastie - then he'll FEASTIE! - they'll go scrambling back through the book to make amends.
