Good morning and welcome to PORTUGAL DECODED. From history to the arts and, of course, fiction, there is plenty of exciting writing by foreigners about Portugal. Here’s our top picks this season.
Olá! I don’t know if the second part of your book recommendations includes Portuguese authors, but I loved Jose Saramago’s Journey to Portugal (even better with the edition with photographs by the author). And Margaret Jull Costa’s translation of Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet!
As always, thank you for these excellent insights and recommendations, especially the books. I tangled with bureaucracy today (and lost). Your newsletter put things in perspective.
Oh yes, thanks for the book recommendations…very interesting.
Excellent balance Thank you
Patterns of Portugal was so lovely, inspiring and informative.
Great book recommendations!! I’ve added several to my list. Thank you!
What a great list; some of these titles are new to me. Might I add my recently-released novel, Her Lisbon Colors to the list. 😍
I am very excited today to find your work …. it’s very inspiring and I feel drawn to going to Portugal…x
