Racham os Pirineus, a Peninsula Iberica se desgarra da Europa. Transformada em ilha - Jangada de Pedra -, navega a deriva pelo oceano Atlantico.A esse espetacular acidente geologico somam-se outros insolitos que unem os quatro personagens principais do romance numa viagem apocaliptica e utopica pelos caminhos da linguagem e, por meio dela, pelos da arte e da cultura peninsulares.A insula iberica vagueia ao acaso de um mar tecido de muitos mitos e historia.A historia dos povos ibericos, Jose Saramago a conta e reconta pela memoria de um narrador, multiplo de si mesmo e dos personagens cujas andancas acompanha.Os mitos se costuram nas pedras da fratura de que se fez a jangada. Neles se recuperam as cronicas, peregrinacoes de herois anonimos ou notorios da identidade iberica, todos notaveis, D. Quixote entre uns, os peregrinos de Santiago de Compostela na Idade Media entre outros.Narrativa perfeita na qual os fantasmas do inconsciente pousam familiarmente no cotidiano; surrealismo vigoroso que torna o incomum realidade, criando as condicoes oniricas para virar o mundo as avessas e, entao, contar-lhe, com ironia e graca, os transtornos de erros e acertos, de enganos e desenganos.Posto assim ao contrario de si mesmo e de suas aparentes e reais firmezas, o mundo abre-se para a aventura ficcional da desconstrucao das certezas das palavras e dos objetos; deixa-se viajar no estranhamento que dai decorre; reencontra-se em signos velhos e cristalizados: signos novos contudo, nos enigmas em que se tornam, reveladores tambem nas fantasticas solucoes narrativas que desencadeiam.Carlos Vogt
