Yitik Adanin Öyküsü

The Iberian Peninsula is inexplicably separated from the mainland. While newspapers all over the world are publishing that historical photo of the Peninsula with huge headlines, each of the five people who came together through interesting coincidences thinks that this rupture is the result of their own behavior.

In the adventure they set out, taking two horses and a dog with them, Joana Carda drew shapes in the ground with an elm branch, Pedro Orce heard the ground shaking, José Anaiço was constantly followed by starlings, and how he threw a very heavy stone into the sea.
Joaquim Sassa, who can't come to terms with what he's seen, and Maria Guavaira, who struggles with a sock he found in the attic, take us on a journey to an imaginary world while also confronting us with many facts about life.

In this novel, Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago describes politics, identities, geography, borders, human spirit, existence, and reconstruction with his poetic style and ironic approach.
It makes you question. "Coming from the tradition of Don Quixote, The Story of the Lost Island is perhaps Saramago's best book."
-Los Angeles Times-

"Incredibly entertaining - a magnificent world is revealed to us with the occasional metaphysical allusions and the author's clever narration."
-Publishers Weekly-
