LISBOA (Irene). A VIDINHA da Lita. Coimbra. s.d. [1971]. - LISBOA (Irene) A VIDINHA da Lita . Contada por Irene Lisboa. Desenhos de Ilda Moreira. Coimbra: Atlântida Editora, s.d. [1971]. 56 pp.: il.; 170 mm. Posthumous edition, organized and illustrated by Ilda Moreira. * A Vidinha da Lita* derives from the 13 *Contarelos* that Irene wrote and Ilda illustrated for young people , the debut work of Irene Lisboa (Arranhó, 1892 - Lisbon, 1958), published in 1926. The bond between the two authors – teachers and friends – runs throughout the book's history: Ilda Moreira illustrated the first edition and returned to illustrate this reorganized re-edition, decades after Irene Lisboa's death. The writer, who signed her work under the pseudonyms João Falco and Manuel Soares in addition to her own name, is one of the most singular figures in 20th-century Portuguese literature, a precursor of neo-realism, recognized by Vitorino Nemésio and José Régio as a voice of exceptional quality, although she never achieved widespread public recognition. Her work encompasses children's literature, urban chronicles, poetry, and autobiographical writing. Curious. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
