«Histórias de Verão, Contos de Inverno» is a collection of stories by David Lodge, published by Edições ASA in paperback (112 pages, in Portuguese).
The book brings together six stories written over more than thirty years and grouped into two blocks: summer, holidays and escape from routine; English winter, traditional festivities and their discomforts. The author presents them, paraphrasing Kingsley Amis, as 'chips from a novelist's workbench'.
Translation by Vitor Silva Mota. The English original, 'The Man Who Wouldn't Get Up and Other Stories', was published in 1997; this Portuguese edition, in 1998.
For readers of short fiction and contemporary British literature, interested in the work of David Lodge.
David John Lodge was an English novelist and critic. He was a literature professor at the University of Birmingham until 1987, and some of his novels satirise academic life, notably the "Campus Trilogy" – Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses (1975), Small World: An Academic Romance (1984) and Nice Work (1988). The latter two were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Another theme is Roman Catholicism, beginning from his first published novel The Picturegoers (1960).
