Omschrijving
In the tradition of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of the twentieth century s most original literary voices offers kaleidoscopic visions of a modern Portugal scarred by its Fascist past and its bloody colonial wars in Africa (Paris Review). Hailed as a masterpiece of world literature, The Land at the End of the World in an acclaimed translation by Margaret Jull Costa recounts the anguished tale of a Portuguese medic haunted by memories of war. Like the Ancient Mariner who will tell his tale to anyone who listens, the narrator s evening unfolds like a fever dream that is both tragic and haunting. The result is one of the great war novels of the modern age. "
António Lobo Antunes, born in 1942 in Benfica, is considered to be Portugal's greatest living writer. The author of more than twenty novels, including What Can I Do When Everything's On Fire?, he has won many awards and makes his home in Lisbon.
