The Tale of the Unknown Island

Amazon.com

"A man went to knock at the king's door and said, Give me a boat."

Even without the "Once upon a time," it's clear from the opening sentence of José Saramago's mischievous and wise The Tale of the Unknown Island that we have entered a somewhat fractured fairy tale. Of course, it could be argued that all of his works are, in some form or another, fairy tales, from the whimsical, revisionist History of the Siege of Lisbon to the darker dystopia of Blindness. Originally published as a short story in Portugal, Unknown Island contains all of the elements Saramago is famous for--dry wit, a seemingly simple plot that works on many levels, and an idiosyncratic use of punctuation, among other things. It begins as a satire concerned with the absurdity of bureaucracy as supplicants arrive at the king's door for petitions while the king himself waits by the door for favors:

Since the king spent all his time sitting at the door for favors (favors being offered to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking at the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear, and only when the continuous pounding of the bronze doorknocker became not just deafening, but positively scandalous, disturbing the peace of the neighborhood (people would start muttering, What kind of king is he if he won't even answer the door), only then would he order the first secretary to go and find out what the supplicant wanted, since there seemed no way of silencing him.

On this particular occasion, the man at the door asks for a boat so that he can search for an unknown island. When the king assures him that all the islands have already been discovered, he refuses to believe it, explaining that one must exist "simply because there can't possibly not be an unknown island." A palace cleaning woman overhears the conversation, and when the king finally grants his supplicant a boat, she leaves the royal residence via the door of decisions and follows the would-be explorer. Saramago then moves from satire to allegory as his two dreamers prepare for their voyage of discovery--and nearly miss the forest for the trees. The Tale of the Unknown Island packs more charm and meaning into 50 tiny pages than most novels accomplish at five times the length. Readers already familiar with the Nobel Prize-winning Saramago will find everything they love about his longer works economically sized; for those who have not yet experienced the pleasures of his remarkable imagination, Unknown Island provides a charming introduction. --Alix Wilber

Book Description

A man went to knock at the king's door and said to him, Give me a boat. The king's house had many other doors, but this was the door for petitions. Since the king spent all his time sitting by the door for favors (favors being done to the king, you understand), whenever he heard someone knocking on the door for petitions, he would pretend not to hear . . ." Why the petitioner required a boat, where he was bound for, and who volunteered to crew for him the reader will discover as this short narrative unfolds. And at the end it will be clear that if we thought we were reading a children's fable we were wrong-we have been reading a love story and a philosophical tale worthy of Voltaire or Swift.

Wonderful read .......2007-05-07

This is an excellent book. It is a very fast read as it is quite small. However, the story shines through its imaginative plot and fantastic characters. Saramago's style lets you escape instantly into the fantasy being unwound. Recommended to all. I can't imagine a person I know who wouldn't enjoy this tale.

a book like a poem.......2006-09-01

This short book is a good exercise for one imagination. It can make one ask himself what is the unknown island he is in search for. And whether he is ready to begin the search. It takes some courage to follow one's dream, or one can postpone it. Perhaps just as Ulysses (Odysseus) postponed his return home to Ithaka, an island he used to know well in the past. There is a poem with the same name, Ithaka, by Constantine Cavafys, illustrating a myth similar to what I believe is the central motive of "The tale of the Unknown island". I highly recommend reading the poem and comparing it to the book.

Worth a trip to the Unknown Island.......2006-02-24

Jose Saramago's wisdom wrapped in a small book reveals far more than a simple tale. His writing in The Tale of the Unknown Island, like in his bold Blindness, is a paradox addressing issues that confront us all. In this short story are provocative truths filling the pages and surrounding the unknown until the isand becomes familiar...or at least worth visiting. It's a quick read, but an unforgetable story.

Masterful and Wide.......2005-09-25

This book reminds me of the little prince not only in size but in the depth of its story. Beautiful, Concise, and wide open to many levels of interpretation. A most excellent adventure..

Not worth Publishing by Itself.......2005-04-12

I have read and enjoyed a couple of Saramago books already and am well into a third. I took time out to read this small, illustrated, 51-page book. I wasn't paying attention to anything but the price and the author when I ordered it. I guess Jose Saramago isn't in the habit of writing short stories otherwise his publisher could just as easily have waited to include it in his next collection.

The story, as I understood it, is that of a man who is searching for a new start, a new world. He doesn't seem to express any objections to his present world, he just wants a boat so he can go find an unknown island. If I try to tell too much more of the plot, I'll run the risk of this review being longer than the "book". In the end, I understood the plot to mean that often it is the journey, rather than the destination that matters. The determination is greater than the result.

This is a nice enough story but it doesn't warrent its' own issuance. I mean, it isn't THAT good. I'll read more of Saramago and I'll be glad to sing his praises many times, I'm sure. I'll just pay a little more attention to what I'm ordering in the future.

Book Description

Exquisitely written, this short story is a delicious introduction to Saramago's work. In an imaginary kingdom, a nobel and persistent Portuguese man requests that the king grant him one of his ships to search for an unknown island. If he has his wish fulfilled, the man will sail in search of the unknown island of his dreams. Saramago uses this backdrop for a harsh fable about modern man; he shows us that dreaming is perhaps the real way towards happiness.

Description in Spanish: Un suceso histórico, la intención de un noble portugués de ser autorizado por el rey para utilizar una de sus carabelas en la búsqueda de la isla desconocida, le sirve al autor de pretexto para realizar una fábula descarnada del hombre moderno.

Saramago nos muestra que soñar, a veces, es el verdadero camino hacia la felicidad.

Pepe Batres (Chicago).......2005-07-31

A must read for all Saramago and Iberic lit enthusiasts. It took me 1 hour to read it from cover to cover for the first time. I took a lot longer the second time. Saramago packs so much message in such a short tale it's nuts. Definitely two thumbs up.

Muy buen cuento, Algo extraÃ±o para ser de Saramago........2004-04-15

Bueno, Que saramago es un escritor muy especial, Con un ojo bionico que transpasa muchas barreras. No lo he descubierto yo.

Este libro, es un cortito cuento. Muy interesante.
Con moraleja. Aunque no tan clara.

Basicamente, una descripcion de como la gente, sueña con objetivos. Y en cuanto estan encaminados hacia estos. Se asustan. Y buscan diferentes pretextos para escapar.

Un buen cuentito , Recomendado, para todos aquellos que estan en duda si seguir sus sueños del corazon.
O si seguir los del bolsillo, de las comodidades y del confort. (que no te deja pensar.).

Comprenlo, aguante saramago. Un Grande.

about Saramago's Una Isla Desconocida.......2003-11-12

Besides clearly stating a critique of beaurocracy I think Saramago goes deeper to tell us other things. No man is an island said once John Donne. Is he or is he not? On the one hand man seems complete in itself, he and he alone posseses the mental energy to materialize his own dreams. On the other hand we see that once man has the basic elements to achieve his dream he starts destroying it by creating all sorts of pretexts and obstacles that interfere with its realization. Man asked the King for a ship to go in search of his island, once the King has granted him his wish, man is suddenly seen defeating his own perseverance and ilusion as he expresses doubt and fear of possible disasters that the realization of the dream may bring to him. Then there is the cleaning woman who firmly trespassed "the decision door" of the palace demonstrating her will to change HER reality and it is ultimately this woman who encourages the man to continue in his quest..So, Donne's appreciation stands solidly. Man is THE unknown island, yet in a very short, fast reading book (very unlike Saramago, since his books are usually quite lengthy)we are drawn to realize how very much we still need each other when achieving anything.

Very Clever.......2000-07-02

I read this book in it's original language - Portuguese - but I think the messages would be equally clear in any language. It's a very short story, or almost a fable, which very cleverly masks a critique of the way bureaucratic rulers deal with their "subjects". Looks like its for kids on the surface, but it's not!

A Classic Collection of Gullah Folklore.......2007-05-09

Abigail Christensen was the daughter of Northern abolitionists who came down to the South Carolina Sea Islands during the Civil War to assist the newly freed slaves in their transition to freedom. Growing up among Gullah people, she learned their language and heard their extraordinary folktales about Buh Rabbit, Buh Fox, Buh Bear, etc. Later, when she was a college student in the North, her professors encouraged her to compile the stories she had collected and written down into a book. Her "Afro-American Folk Lore" was originally published in 1892. Christensen's knowledge of Gullah was not as deep as that of the former slaveowner Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. whose story collection ("Negro Myths of the Georgia Coast," 1888) is also a classic work of Gullah folklore, but her book is an enormously valuable document of Gullah culture nonetheless. Christensen's stories even contain a few phrases in African languages, reflecting the early date at which they were collected. As far as I know, the African language (or languages) of these phrases has never been identified. This would be a great project someday for some enterprising young linguist. This collection has been igored by scholars for decades (though a full-scale biography of Christensen was recencly published), but with all the interest in Gullah culture these days, it is just a matter of time before these stories are rediscovered and republished in a popular edition.

Somewhat flawed, but fundamental.......2007-01-23

This book is one of the foundations of African-American folklore collections in the United States. Essentially, Miss Christensen was a White Northerner who recorded the tales of African-American ex-slaves and Gullah speakers in South Carolina's St. Helena Island in the 1870s. In 1877, one of those tales (included here) was among the first known publications of "Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby," a few years before the white Georgian Joel Chandler Harris gained more fame from the "rabbit stories" (as the indigenous call them). While Miss Christensen was the first to publish one of these stories, Harris's collection was published 12 years before she was able to find a publisher for her collection.

Interestingly, one of her informants, a black man named Prince Baskins, says that his African grandfather told him these tales. Recent studies indicate that he may have been right, as simiarities about between these proverbs of rabbits, alligators, and the like and actual African folktales. Unfortuantely, the tales are somewhat marred by Miss Christensen's sentiments that were common to her times, such as refering to the "monkey-like" appearance of some of her black informants. The stories themselves are written authentically in phonetic Gullah, but those who are not familiar with how this dialect sounds to the ear will find the book almost incomprehensible. Like other Gullah folklorists such as Ambrose Gonzales and Samuel Stoney, she does her job a bit too well in this aspect.

Overall, folklorists, storytellers, and those interested in Gullah culture will find this an interesting read.

Book Description

There's no place to hide from the truth . . .

CIA agent Jonah Slade is back from deadly undercover work in the jungles of South America, battered, bloodied, but successful in putting a notorious drug czar behind bars. But, he discovers, the war has just begun.

He learns the woman he loved and lost years ago has been killed in cold blood, her fifteen-year-old son kidnapped. Her sister, Macie Blaine, turns to Jonah for help, and gives him no chance to refuse when she tells him the boy is his son.

Stunned and enraged by the discovery, Jonah wants to lash out. Until he makes the connection between the kidnapping and the drug lord, who is solely focused on avenging the death of his own son -- the man Jonah killed. It's come down to a battle as old as time itself. An eye for an eye. A son for a son.

Yet for Jonah, it's also much more than that. He knows what he is, a hardened and cynical man. But he also knows what he wants. Everything he's been denied: his son -- and Macie Blaine's love.

Action packed and full of suspense.......2006-05-04

Pregnant and fearing that her father will cut her off, Felicity informs lover Jonah that she is having an abortion. He flees town believing that his child was aborted, while Felicity raises the child as a single mother. Her younger sister, Macie, who had a crush on Jonah always felt that Felicity's decision was wrong. She has maintained a close relationship with her nephew Evan for the last 15 years.

When Jonah learned that Felicity terminated their child, he had little to live for. He decided to live dangerously, and spent several years in deep cover in the DEA. His latest assignment resulted in the death of the son of drug kingpin Calderone. After witnessing Jonah kill his son Alejandro, Calderone vows an eye for an eye; a son for a son. Jonah is relieved about his solitary life with no children to worry about. But when Macie shows up at his door to inform him that Felicity did in fact bear him a son, she must also inform him that Felicity was brutally murdered, and Evan kidnapped.

Jonah must race the clock to locate the resourceful Evan from the evil drug runners. Along the way, his feelings for Macie start to develop, and though he tries to keep them in check, soon they start to fall in love.

McCall keeps the pacing brisk with lots of nail biting suspense, particularly with regard to the identity of the mole within in the DEA. You cannot help but want everything to work out for the trio.

Drugs, Murder, Kidnapping, and Love.......2005-06-16

Dinah McCall continues to produce decent romantic suspense novels and THE PERFECT LIE falls just short of excellent into the Very Good category.

Jonah Slade is a CIA agent whose most recent assignment goes awry. He infiltrated a drug cartel and when the time came to arrest Miguel Calderone a blood bath occurred. Still undercover, Jonah is being arrested when Alejandro (Miguel's son) shoots a DEA agent next to Jonah. Without thinking, Jonah kills Alejandro and Miguel realizes Jonah is an undercover agent and vows revenge.

The next series of events takes you on a whirlwind journey - Calderone's men break into the home of Jonah's one-time girlfriend (Felicity), kill her, shoot her father, and kidnap her son. Yep, you guessed it: the son is Jonah's only he never knew he had a son. Felicity had lied to him about her pregnancy and for fifteen years, he's been under the belief that she had an abortion.

Macie Blaine, Felicity's sister, finds Jonah and begs him to save her nephew and informs him that the child is actually his son. It's a bit convoluted but McCall brings all of the facts together. Some of the events are a bit hard to fathom - like Calderone taking a drug in prison that stops his heart, so he appears dead. The warden signing his body over to his "sister" with no questions and in only a matter of minutes is not realistic. But without that happening, they would never be able to have Calderone break out of prison and the big finale would not take place

Another bit of fluff was the fact that kidnapped Evan Blaine uses his hands to try to claw open a window getting splinters under his nails, and ripping his fingertips. These fester and become infected to the point his hands are almost useless. Now why couldn't he pull those splinters out? Usually when splinters fester, one good squeeze and it pops right out. Why the drama of the hurt hands?

The characters were interesting. Declyn Blaine was only glossed over, but his boisterous, dogmatic personality was made very clear. Jonah Slade was strong yet tender when he allowed his emotions to come to the surface. Maybe those emotions surfaced a bit too easily for a man who has been through hell for fifteen years, but that could be overlooked most of the time. Macie Blaine was the weakest person in the story. For one who runs an international import business, she lacked the drive and strong personality that it would take to do that career. Instead she is mild mannered, and basically weak.

The mystery side of the story goes along smoothly most of the time. A few blimps (like a FBI agent called by 2 different names or the use of an abandoned submarine lookout in Southern California - um, I've lived here most of my life and have never seen anything like that near La Jolla) do not detract from the tale. The quick romance of Macie and Jonah is difficult to stomach at times, especially when the dialog becomes wimpy ("You dirty so and so" - what CIA man would use that terminology?).

Overall THE PERFECT LIE is a good book with a few bumps in the road. I would definitely suggest that Ms. McCall find a new editor though so the sophomoric errors will stop in her future books.

Enjoyable Easy Read!.......2004-12-01

Although some of the action is a bit far fetched, this novel is a very enjoyable read. McCall has written a simple easy to read plot with interesting characters. Jonah Slade is approached by a woman named Macie, who is the sister of a woman who chose her inheritance over him because her father gave her the ultimatum. Unbeknownst to him he has a son named Evan and even more shocking, Evan has been kidnapped and Jonah's ex murdered with her father in critical condition in the hospital. Being a CIA agent, Jonah chose a line of work which he never would if he knew he had a family. Recently he killed the son of South American drug baron Miguel Calderone now in jail who wants an eye for an eye and will stop at nothing for his own freedom and to kill Evan in front of Jonah's eyes.

Big type, medium characters, small plot .......2004-07-29

I thought at first I had mistakenly purchased one of those books in large print. Now I know that if it was in a normal font, it would have been pitifully shallow. After reading the first page you know immediately how the story will turn out. Not only that, you also know exactly how the action (quote unquote) will progress.

I hate to say this, but it reminds me of a woman writing for women; the author seems to have no real grasp of either the world of spydom, the military or the way men think. All the characters appear to be from movies, even the best realized one of all- Evan (the teenager). Too many names, not enough personality, CIA, FBI, special agents, blah blah blah.

The plot is standard soap opera - some guy suddenly learns that he has a child and must do something spectacular relating to his profession (almost always militay/intelligence). The mom is killed and who should walk into the room but grownup, now-gorgeous little sis who, as in all stories like this, is wealthy and independent.

Bad guy is a South American drug lord who, for some reason, wants to assassinate the President (as if that would alter US drug policy). Our hero is forced to shoot bad guy's son and bad guy gets even by capturing the boy he never knew he had. Lots of give and take - sister and hero bed, son suffers, snore snore until dad reaches son. Again, as in those made-for-TV two hankies, the boy has admired his (missing) dad for years and they bond right before, in James Bond fashion, he takes out the bad guys and discovers a traitor.

Epilogue: Dad and son fishing when out comes now-pregnant wifie, former little sister...and they all lived happily ever after.

fast-paced and entertaining!.......2004-06-22

This is my first Dinah McCall book. I had left it on my TBR pile after discovering my usual book review site gave it a 'D' rating. I am so glad I picked it up anyway. I found it very entertaining and did not agree with any of the criticisms except those of Macie, the heroine. I not only fully agree she was put there just for 'girlfriend' material, I find it hard to accept any hero finding her alluring! Macie is sweet and caring, a paragon of virtue almost, but she is so ignorant and clueless I ended up clueless myself about why McCall even wrote her into the story. Fortunately, Macie is not one of those TSTL heroines because she doesn't get in the way and she does whatever the hero tells her to do so I didn't have to worry about those TSTL moments romance writers must think readers enjoy (why else why would there be so many?).
