Considered the most representative book of José Rodrigues Miguéis' work, Léah brings together ten narratives of diverse scope and tone. It was awarded the Camilo Castelo Branco Prize in the year of its publication. Two narratives stand out in particular: ”Léah, ” a soliloquy in the form of a letter and diary in which the narrator evokes his beloved and lost wife; and ”Saudades para a Dona Genciana, ” considered Miguéis' masterpiece of fiction, built upon the memory of a working-class Lisbon that exile transforms into an affective relic. First edition, highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
