Overview
«Nélida Piñon no solo es una de las más grandes escritoras en lengua portuguesa de su tiempo sino una de las más relevantes en el panorama internacional.» - Mercedes Monmany, ABC
Nacido en el siglo XIX en una aldea del norte de Portugal, hijo de una prostituta acusada de brujería y de un padre desconocido, el joven Mateus se ha criado con su abuelo Vicente, pero cuando este muere, él emprende un viaje en dirección al sur, en busca de la utopía, pero también tras la vocación de grandeza de un país pobre y animado por las ansias de libertad.
Un día llegaré a Sagres narra, en definitiva, la historia de Portugal, de una civilización en movimiento perpetuo a través de la vida de un individuo aparentemente insignificante, un campesino temerario, pero que quizá lo sea en un momento en que lo que más falta hace es temeridad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The new novel by the PEN Literary Club National Award winner and recipient of the Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
“Nélida Piñón is not only one of the greatest writers in Portuguese language of her time, but one of the most relevant in the international scene.” - Mercedes Monmany, ABC.
Born in a village in Northern Portugal in the nineteenth century, son of a prostitute accused of witchcraft and an unknown father, young Mateus grows up with his grandfather, Vicente. But when Vicente dies, Mateus sets on a journey to the South, looking for his utopia, but also following the calling of greatness in a poor country bustling with the longing for freedom.
One Day I Will Get to Sagres ultimately tells the history of Portugal, a civilization in perpetual motion, through the life of an apparently insignificant individual, a bold peasant in a time when boldness is maybe needed most.
