The novel 'Esplendor de Portugal' by António Lobo Antunes, published by Siruela, offers a critical look at the 'splendor' of Portugal through two narrative spaces: Luanda and Lisbon, between 1977 and 1995. With a choral structure of monologues, the work explores characters who have lost their place and yearn for a lost order, artificially reviving their childhood in the midst of a ruined past and an uncertain future. This hardcover edition has 424 pages and belongs to the 'Libros del Tiempo' collection.
