Price and Buy The History of the Siege of Lisbon by José Saramago (Farsi)

The History of the Siege of Lisbon by José Saramago is a metafictional novel that blends history, romance, and philosophical reflection. The story follows Raimundo Silva, a proofreader who, on a whim, inserts a single word into a historical text, altering the official account of the 1147 Siege of Lisbon. This act of defiance sparks both professional consequences and a personal transformation as he embarks on a love affair with his editor, Maria Sara. Through Saramago’s signature lyrical prose and deep contemplation of history’s subjectivity, the novel explores themes of truth, power, and the role of storytelling in shaping reality.
