Tales of the island and the mainland

The short story was never a priority in Lúcio Cardoso's work; everyone knows that the novel has always been his great obsession, and, why not say, that of all prose writers of his generation. Even so, the unique and particular method of conceiving, constructing, and reworking short stories highlights the importance and quality of the texts in this selection curated by researcher Valéria Lamego. A rare and unprecedented edition, with an introduction that will allow the reader to learn a little more about Cardoso's universe.
