Porodična saga koja obuhvata gotovo čitav XX vek u Portugaliji, uključujući i „karanfil revoluciju“ 1974. godine, kada je posle četiri decenije srušena diktatura i uspostavljen demokratski sistem u zemlji. Roman duboko ličan, Stoleće u Alentežu (1980) prvo je Saramagovo delo s piščevim prepoznatljivim rukopisom, blistavim stilom koji zanemaruje pravopisne norme i specifičnim glasom i humorom koji uzdižu njegove romane do najviših ostvarenja savremene svetske književnosti.

First published in 1980, Saramago’s prizewinning novel Raised from the Ground follows the changing fortunes of the Mau-Tempo family – poor, landless peasants not unlike the author’s own grandparents. Set in Alentejo, a southern province of Portugal known for its vast agricultural estates, Saramago charts the lives of the Mau-Tempos as national and international events rumble on in the background – the coming of the republic in Portugal, the First and Second World Wars, and an attempt on the dictator Salazar's life. Yet, nothing really impinges on the grim reality of the farm labourers' lives until the first communist stirrings. Finally…

This early work is deeply personal and Jose Saramago 's most autobiographical, following the changing fortunes of the Mau-Tempo family – poor, landless peasants not unlike the author’s own grandparents. Saramago charts the family's lives in Alentjo, southern Portugal, as national and international events rumble on in the background – the coming of the republic in Portugal, the First and Second World Wars, and an attempt on the dictator Salazar's life. Yet, nothing really impinges on the farm labourers' lives until the first stirrings of communism. As full of love as it is of pain, it is a vivid, moving tribute to the men and women among…

Um ​escritor é um homem como os outros: sonha. E o meu sonho foi o de poder dizer deste livro, quando o terminasse: «Isto é o Alentejo.» Dos sonhos, porém, acordamos todos, e agora eis-me não diante do sonho realizado, mas da concreta e possível forma do sonho. Por isso me limitarei a escrever: «Isto é um livro sobre o Alentejo.» Um livro, um simples romance, gente, conflitos, alguns amores, muitos sacrifícios e grandes fomes, as vitórias e os desastres, a aprendizagem da transformação, e mortes. É portanto um livro que quis aproximar-se da vida, e essa seria a sua mais merecida explicação. Leva como título e nome, para procurar e ser…

"С земли поднимаются колосья и деревья, поднимаются, мы знаем это, звери, которые бегают по полям, птицы, которые летают над ними. Поднимаются люди со своими надеждами.
