Abstract(s)
Deus é uma personagem importante (e omnipresente) na obra de Saramago. Mas será apenas uma figura de ficção? Mesmo afirmando-se não crente, José Saramago reconhece-se como um produto do cristianismo e tem consciência de que milhares de seres humanos acreditam em Deus, ou no transcendente. A sua luta, portanto não é com Deus — que para ele não existe —, mas com os intermediários de Deus: as religiões e os líderes religiosos. Todavia, como ele gostaria que Deus existisse e interviesse, indignado, para confrontar o ser humano — que já perdeu essa capacidade de indignação – com a própria ideia de humanidade! A esse ponto nos provoca o Nobel português.
