First Sentence
He'd passed through Lixbon eighteen or twenty years earlier on the way to Angola and what he remembered best were his parents' rooms in the boardinghouse on Conde Redondo where they were staying in the midst of a clatter of pots and women's exasperated grumbling. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique, 12 April 2006
By Paulo Agostinho (Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Return of the Caravels (Paperback)
Lobo Antunes is a portuguese writer with a unique style. Some critics compare him to Faulkner, but he has developed his own style. This book is one of his first works, easier than the more recent and complex works. However, this book maybe a little difficult to understand totally if you're not familiar with portuguese history or portuguese historic characters. Anyway, it's worth a try. Or you can try another Lobo Antunes' work. For me, he is the greatest portuguese writer alive, a million miles above Saramago.
