Interruptions in death
9.99 €
José Saramago is a Portuguese writer and Nobel Prize winner. His novels are imbued with magical realism and read like fairy tales for adults.

"Death's Interruptions" is like an episode of "Black Mirror." Death is a woman of about thirty-six, of rare beauty. One day, she decides to suspend her activities within the territory of a single country. The dream of immortality has come true. However, old age, illness, accidents, and other misfortunes remain. Thousands of people find themselves in a state of deferred death, and their relatives are at a loss as to how to ease their suffering...

Convinced of the failure of the experiment, Death returns. She promises to send letters to the doomed seven days before their death. But one purple envelope with the sentence keeps returning to its sender. A musician who lives with his dog refuses to die, but Death can't bring herself to kill him.
