Lisbon Tales: City Tales

Editat de Helen Constantine Traducere de Amanda Hopkinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mai 2019
Lisbon has been an extraordinary city for well over a thousand years, rendering it a place of great historical and contemporary interest. The combination of cultural influences in Lisbon--Arabian, African, and European--and the city's identity as a great seafaring stronghold, has granted it a unique and spirited legacy. Lisbon Tales reflects this legacy in its literary selections. From famous names to new voices, Lisbon Tales describes a city in continuous and vibrant change.

Recenzii

A slice of Lisbon to form a tantalizing tart of tales.
Lisbon Tales is another excellent installment in this series of books, and they'd all make the perfect addition to the bookshelves of any armchair travellers you might know!
There are many fine inclusions here, with excellent stories by authors who will be largely unknown in the English-speaking world ... The rendering of the stories in English is fluent, appealing, and ... faithful to the original, with helpful explanatory footnotes added when required ... There is much to enjoy in this collection.
This panorama, proffered in elegant but natural English, is one of the main strengths of Lisbon Tales, leaving aside the intrinsic merits of the stories and crónicas themselves, and Hopkinson's translations are a welcome addition to the repertoire of Portuguese works available to English-speaking readers.
