Nobel Literature Prize winner to visit

78 Portuguese novelist Jose Saramago, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize of Literature, will visit Santo Domingo, 19-20 February. He will visit to promote sales of his new book, "La Caverna." The author will make a presentation on Monday, 19 February at the Hotel Jaragua. In his new novel, the writer denounces the injustices of a world where millions live in poverty and there is not much remaining but to rebel. In an interview with El Caribe newspaper, he explained that he writes to tell the reader to make a pause and reflect over the situation of the world, without detracting from the technological and scientific advances.
