Revolution of the land

A brief about the novel "Revolution of the Land" by José Saramago. The revolution of the land included an alternative to the fictional assumption, represented in a heroic presentation in which he played the role of the narrator who can comment on events, remind of what has passed, and mention what is to come in advanced stages, thus reviving the role of the wandering narrator and his oral abilities, which are more capable of communicating with the audience and establishing a direct dialogue with him, and sometimes portraying what he narrates in a humorous way that suits what he wants to hear and what attracts his attention. This technique allowed Saramago, as one of the writers concerned with philosophical issues, to present his opinions and visions regarding the institutions he has spent his work criticizing. In "Revolution of the Land," we follow Saramago's footsteps and, in light of his ferocity in truth and his anger at injustice and his unlimited pain, from poverty to the village of "Lafry," through which he discusses the history of Portugal and the most important events it experienced, including the "Carnation Revolution" that erupted in 1974.
