José Saramago Description in Spanish: Me interesa conocer mi relación con ese niño que fui. Ese niño está en mí, siempre ha estado y siempre lo estará. «Un adulto escribe memorias de adulto, acaso para decir: Miren qué importante soy . He hecho memorias de niño, y me he sentido niño haciéndolas; quería que los lectores supieran de dónde salió el hombre que soy. Así que me centré en unos años, de los cuatro a los quince.»« less
