CARVALHO (Mário de). ERA UMA VEZ um Alferes. Lisboa. 1984. - CARVALHO (Mário de) ERA UMA VEZ um Alferes . Ilustrações de Jorge Colombo. Lisboa: Edições Rolim, 1984. 40 pp.: il.; 205 mm. (A Hora do Lobo, n.º 4) First edition. Once Upon a Time There Was an Ensign brings together three short novels centered on young Portuguese officers in the context of colonial war or occupation. The three stories share a thread of bitter humor and a literary quality that would make them, in the expanded version published under the title The Ensigns (Caminho, 1989), one of the reference titles of Portuguese fiction about the colonial war. Sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
