About This Item
Lisbon, Edições Avante!, 1982.. Very large 8°, original plain wrappers with dust jacket (slight wear to jacket). In very good condition, internally in "as new" condition. 414 pp., (2 ll.), 14 plates, additional illustrations in text. *** First published 1961, this novel is considered by many to be the author's best work. The preface (pp. [5]-13), is dated 1964. The illustrations appear to be original to the present edition. The action takes place during a week in May, 1891, with the Portuguese economy in collapse due to a financial crisis. Alves Redol (1911-1969) was the first neo-realist novelist to achieve wide recognition in Portugal. He also wrote dramas, short stories and ethnographical studies. *** See Saraiva & Lopes História da literatura portuguesa (16th ed.) pp. 1083, 1084, 1092, 1162.
