Baltasar and Blimunda by José Saramago is a historical novel set in 18th-century Portugal, during the reign of King João V. The story follows the lives of two extraordinary characters: Baltasar, a one-armed soldier, and Blimunda, a woman with the ability to see inside people’s souls. Together, they embark on a journey marked by love, mysticism, and the construction of a grand flying machine designed by the visionary priest, Father Bartolomeu de Gusmão. With his rich, symbolic narrative and philosophical exploration of human desires, power, and freedom, Saramago weaves a tale that blends history with magic realism
