A dramatisation by John Clifford of Memorial do Convento by the Portuguese writer Jose Saramago, winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. A beguiling and soaringly imaginative blend of realism and fantasy, it is set in early 18th-century Portugal during the reign of King Juao V. As the fires of the Inquisition burn, a ragged one-armed soldier falls in love with a young woman who has the gift - or curse - of being able to look deep within the bodies of those around her. Meanwhile, a priest is building a flying machine powered by amber, sunlight, and human wills caught in bottles. And the composer Domenico Scarlatti dreams of playing his harpsichord when the machine flies through the air....
