Global Portuguese Literature in Translation

A selection of canonic and non-canonic works originating from the Portuguese speaking countries. Due to their cultural and sometimes political relevance, these classics provide a broad perspective of the historical and civilizational evolution of Portugal, Brazil and African countries like Angola or Mozambique. Exploring works so diverse in terms of chronology and geographical region provides insight not only into the reasons that books become classics, but also the importance of language and literature to the construction of national and supranational identities.
