Synopsis "Casi un Objeto (in Spanish)"

Saramago nos ofrece en este libro una colección de cuentos que prenden irrevocablemente en la memoria del lector. En "Silla", una carcoma va royendo el asiento de Salazar hasta que cae la dictadura. "Embargo" nos cuenta la ocupación de un hombre por un automóvil, mientras la gasolina va acabándose y la muerte se cierne sobre ambos. En "Reflujo", un único cementerio va absorbiendo todos los demás, hasta la muerte del monarca. En "Cosas" el autor imagina una ciudad sometida a una dictadura absoluta. Un último ser fantástico, mitad hombre y mitad caballo, se esconde desde hace siglo en las sombras de "Centauro". Y "Desquite" es una parábola en la que un muchacho se lanza a un río sabiendo que en la otra orilla lo espera una chica desnuda.
