«Portugal» is the travel essay by Miguel Torga, published by Arléa in paperback (190 pages, in French).
Miguel Torga travels through Portugal from north to south and gathers here his travel impressions: the terraces of the Douro, remote villages, abandoned Romanesque chapels, ruined hillforts, people, dialects and flavours. The author himself defined his method as an «erudition acquired by the feet», the fruit of years of knowing the Portuguese geography inch by inch.
Originally published in 1950, this volume is the 1988 French edition, translated from Portuguese by Claire Cayron and included in the Lieux dits collection.
For readers of travel literature and for those who want to discover the work of Miguel Torga, a 20th-century Portuguese author.
