Written by the Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago, Journey to Portugal is a fascinating account of his homeland in the first few years of democracy.

He discovers amazing legends, good food, friendly locals, abundant churches, as well as his own philosophical meditation on what it means to be a traveler. 

The text version of the review can be read here and here.
