O livro Romper o solo instável — Estudos sobre a Herança Filosófica e Poético-Política de José Saramago oferece uma ampla análise da herança multifacetada de José Saramago, com especial enfoque no seu pensamento filosófico e no seu compromisso poético-político. No ano em que se comemoram os cinquenta anos do 25 de Abril de 1974, este volume propõe uma reflexão sobre como a obra de Saramago nos ajuda a enfrentar os desafios do presente, através de ensaios que exploram, sob diferentes perspetivas, a densa interação entre filosofia, política, história e ficção na obra do autor.

Making use of insights from Gramsci, Walter Benjamin, and Marcuse, among others, this study argues that Saramago sought to engage his reader with a skeptical but vibrant utopianism: teaching us to abandon absolutes and embrace error as inevitable, and, indeed, even necessary.

More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of social control, the Inquisition was an arena where cultures met and clashed on both shores of the Atlantic. This pioneering volume examines how cultural identities were maintained despite oppression. Persecuted groups were able to survive the Inquisition by means of diverse strategies—whether Christianized Jews in Spain preserving their experiences in literature, or native American folk healers practicing medical care.
