Introduction

Don Jose, the main character in this story by Saramago, is a lonely and insignificant government worker at the office of vital statistics. As an innocent pastime, he starts collecting news about the rich and famous. When he notices gaps and contradictions in the lives of these public figures, he decides to fix them by registering fantasy events in the record books. Description in Spanish: En el ambiente opresivo, cerrado y polvoriento de la Conservaduria General del Registro Civil trabaja como escribiente don Jose, un soltero solitario que un buen dia decide su particular registro de personas famosas. No contento con los datos que le proporcionan periodicos y revistas, resuelve completarlos con los que posee, tan a mano, en el Registro. Para ello no tendra mas remedio que violar alguna de las normas de la Conservaduria. ''Todos los nombres es la historia de amor mas intensa de la literatura portuguesa de todos los tiempos.'' Eduardo Lourenço
