«Bichos» is the collection of short stories by Miguel Torga, published by Booket in paperback (113 pages, in Portuguese).
In these fourteen tales, people and animals share the same vicissitudes: there are humanized animals and almost animal humans, struggling with nature, God, or themselves. Torga presents man as just another creature, with no privileged place in creation, and questions freedom and society.
Originally published in 1940, it is considered a classic of Portuguese literature; this edition is from 2007.
For readers of short fiction and Portuguese literature, with stories that work as little fables about the human condition.
Miguel Torga, pseudonym of Adolfo Correia da Rocha, is considered one of the greatest Portuguese writers of the 20th century. He wrote poetry, short stories, a genre in which he is accounted a master, theater and a 16 volume diary, written from 1932 to 1993.
