The Stone Raft Av José Saramago

<p>What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating Spain and Portugal from the rest of Europe?<br><br>In Saramago''s fable, a new island is sent spinning through the ocean like a great stone raft. While the authorities panic and tourists flee, three men, two women and a dog are drawn together by omens that burden them with a peculiar responsibility.
