English Translation of Francisco Teixeira de Queiroz's Anthology to be Released
Ready to dive into some forgotten literary gems? Get your hands on "My Death: And Other Visions from a Fading Century," an anthology from Portuguese author Teixeira de Queiroz. This small yet impactful collection of four short stories is set to launch the “Portuguese Classics” series, according to Filipe Faro da Costa.
Faro da Costa, the publisher behind this work, explains that it unearths a hidden gem in Portuguese literature, allowing foreign readers a glimpse into the lush tapestry of Portuguese culture.
The title of this English publication is derived from the first story in the book, 'My Death.' While the anthology shares its name with this initial story, it doesn't have an overall title equivalent to the original one, explains the editor. Each story comes from Queiroz's book "New Stories" (1887).
This intriguing collection will hit bookstores worldwide starting from the 30th. The publication did not receive any financial support. According to Faro da Costa, sales will determine its popularity among readers.
Though information on upcoming publications in the "Portuguese Classics" series is under wraps, the publisher promises more works. They remain tight-lipped about the next title or author, revealing their secrets to Lusa for "reasons of various kinds."
If Portuguese literature interests you, consider Fernando Pessoa or Paulo Coelho. Pessoa is a towering figure in Portuguese literary history, while Coelho, though Brazilian, is another profound voice in the Portuguese language, famous for his captivating works like "The Alchemist."
