In this historical novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author, the past is rewritten when a Portuguese proofreader adds a false word to a history book, resulting in a whole new perception of the Siege of Lisbon. While it is a challenging book, Saramago's prose and the layered plot make it worth the effort.
