Author’s Signed and Dated Presentation Inscription in His First Book 1. ABEL [Martins das Neves], João. Bom dia, poemas. Luanda: privately printed for the author by the NEA in November, 1971. 8°, original illustrated wrappers (foxed, with two small tears to front cover). Semi-abstract design on front cover repeated on title page. Small hole on first leaf, apparently from the removal of an adhesive label. Overall in very good condition. Author’s signed and dated (“Dez/71”) four-line presentation inscription on title page. (1 blank l., 60 pp., 1 l.). ISBN: none. $400.00 FIRST EDITION of the author’s first book. A second edition appeared in Luanda, 1988. Born in Luanda, 1938, Abel, a bank employee in Luanda during Portuguese rule, was responsible for translations of works by Engels and Lenin, as well as another book of poems, Nome de mulher, published in Luanda, 1973. His poems have appeared in numerous anthologies published in Portugal and Angola. They have also been translated into Russian and English, appearing in anthologies published in London and in Moscow under the former Soviet Union. Along with Costa Andrade, Tomás Jorge, Henrique Abrantes, “Benúdia” (Mário Lopes Guerra), “Andiki” (Henrique Guerra), Arnaldo Santos, Aires de Almeida Santos, and António Jacinto, he was one of the principal contributors to two major Angolan literary reviews published prior to independence, the second phase of Cultura (1957-1961), and the Jornal de Angola (1953-1965). He was also a frequent contributor to newspapers. Inocência Mata (Biblos, I, 5) comments: “A sua poesia, escrita nos anos conturbados da luta pela independência política, é marcada pela consciência de uma situação socio- política irreconciliável e releva da sua experiência vivencial de Luanda, gerando-se do seu ‘saber-sentir’ a natureza, a terra e o homem. A poesia de J.A. releva, assim, de um olhar sempre crítico, sobre a precariedade sociocultural, como naquele já emblemático poema Bom Dia. Numa visão cosmorâmica da cidade, o seu olhar caleidoscópico percorre os vários estratos sociais e profissionais da população, representando-os nas realidades miúdas do seu quotidiano.” j Moser & Ferreira, Bibliografia das literaturas africanas de expressão portuguesa, p. 73 (giving an incomplete collation); A New Bibliography of the Lusophone Literatures of Africa 406. OCLC: this edition not located; cites only the 1988 second edition. Porbase locates a single copy, at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. Copac cites only the second edition.

Of this work at least 20 subsequent editions have appeared. Andrade has won all of Portugal’s major literary prizes and some significant international ones. He was awarded the Prize of the International Association of Literary Critics (1986), Prémio D. Dinis da Fundação Casa de Mateus (1988), Grande Prémio de Poesia da Associação Portuguesa de Escritores (1989) the prestigious Prémio Camões (2001), France’s Prix Jean Malrieu (1989), and the 1996 European Prize for Poetry. He lived in Lisbon and Coimbra before settling in Porto, where he eventually created the Fundação Eugénio de Andrade. His poetry is most striking for the depth in his short poems. Marguerite Yourcenar has referred to “the well-tempered clavier” of his poems, and Spanish critic and poet Ángel Crespo has written that “his voice was born to baptize the world.” Provenance: The Portuguese actor João [Henrique Pereira] Villaret (Lisbon 1913-1961) appeared in O Pai Tirano, by António Lopes Ribeiro (1941); Inês de Castro, by Leitão de Barros (1945); Camões, by Leitão de Barros (1946); Três Espelhos, by Ladislao Vadja (1947); Frei Luís de Sousa, by António Lopes Ribeiro (1950); and O Primo Basílio, by António Lopes Ribeiro (1959). j See Fernando Guimarães in Machado, ed.,Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, pp. 34-5; Carlos Mendes de Sousa in Biblos, I, 264-71; and Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, V, 253-6.

Author’s signed (“Cândido da Velha”) and dated (“8/ [19]61”) warm eight-line inscription to Maria Helena [illegible]—possibly a fellow writer. 235 pp., (2 ll.). $350.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this collection of short stories by Angolan authors: Leonel Cosme, Lilia da Fonseca, Luís Ataída Banazol, Mário António, António Narino e Silva, Rebello de Andrade, Costa Andrade, Oscar Ribas, Cochat Osório, Eduardo Teófilo, and Garibaldino de Andrade. The cover design is by Fernando Marques. The introduction (Propósito) is signed by Garibaldino de Andrade and Leonel Cosme. Imbondeiro was established by Garibaldino de Andrade and Leonel Cosme in January 1960 in Sá da Bandeira (now Lumbango). A monthly publication, Colecção Imbondeiro, aimed to disseminate the literature of Portugal’s colonies. Within a few months, its circulation reached two thousand. Imbondeiro also published multi-volume anthologies, including Mákua (poetry), Dendela (children’s literature), Imbondeiro Gigante (short stories), Livro de Bolso Imbondeiro (short stories, novellas, and dramas), Contos d’Africa and Novos contos d’Africa. In these and the 68 issues of the Colecção Imbondeiro, 8 richard c. ramer

the Imbondeiro press introduced more than sixty authors who were significant in the literature of the Portuguese colonies. Imbondeiro was the largest publisher of its time in Angola. Its rival in publishing authors in the Portuguese colonies was the Casa dos Estudantes do Império, based in Lisbon, whose Colecção Autores Ultramarinos tended to be more favorable to the Portu- guese government. Imbondeiro was so influential that in 1965 the Portuguese authorities shut it down, based partly on the fact that some of Imbondeiro’s authors had expressed disaffection with the government. Provenance: Cândido Manuel de Oliveira da Velha (b. Ílhavo, district of Aveiro, 1933), son of a deep-sea fisherman, studied in Aveiro before moving to Lisbon in 1951 and Angola in 1957. There he joined the Sociedade Cultural de Angola, which was shut down in 1965 by the governor-general. His professional life put him in contact with the working classes in Luanda, Huambo, Bié, Benguela, Cuanza-Sul, Huíla, and Moçâmedes, which had a profound influence on his poetry. From 1958 to 1975 he collaborated on many periodicals in Luanda, including A Província de Angola, Jornal de Angola, and Prisma. He returned to Portugal in 1975, settling in Baixo Alentejo. Principal works include Quero-te, Intangîvel, Africa, 1963, As idades de pedra, 1969, Corporália, 1972, Signo de Caranguejo, 1972, Memória breve de uma cidade, 1988, and Navio dentro do mapa, 1994. Velha was awarded the Prémio da Angola, 1959, the Prémio de Poesia da Associação dos Naturais de Angola in 1963, and the Prémio Motta Veiga, 1969. j Moser and Ferreira, New Bibliography of the Lusophone Literatures of Africa, nº 1528: listing it under Garibaldino de [Oliveira da Conceição] Andrade and Leonel Cosme.

Includes Poem Important for Colonial Brazilian Literature; Signed Presentation Inscription by the Editor to a Fellow Writer *8. BAÍA, Jerónimo, Simão Cardoso, António Barbosa Bacelar, et al. A poesia lírica, cultista e conceptista (colecção de poesias de século XVII, principalmente de “Fénix Renascida”). Prefácio e notas de Hernâni Cidade. Lisbon: Seara Nova, 1968. Textos Literários. 8°, original illustrated wrappers. Some browning. Overall in very good condition. Editor’s signed eight-line presentation inscription on half title “Ao querido Américo, // esta pequenissima incursão // em domînios que são mais // seus do que meus // Com um grande abraço // próspero // do // Hernâni Cidade”. xiii pp., (1 l.), 63 pp., (4 ll.). $75.00 Fourth edition, “corrigida e ampliada,” of the present selection. The Fenix renascida is a classic anthology of Portuguese “Gongorist” poetry. The popularity of the work in its time can perhaps be judged from the fact that the satirist Nicolau Tolentino (1741- 1811) mentions wealthy nuns who memorized whole volumes of the Fenix (see Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 276). The Fenix is also important for Brazilian literature, since it contains two poems by Bernardo Vieira Ravasco (b. Bahia, 1619), brother of P. Antonio Vieira, considered a great poet by his contemporaries. The Fenix includes what are apparently the only two works of his to have been printed. One of these is included in the present anthology, a sonnet in Spanish entitled “A hum papagayo de Palacio, que fallava muyto” (p. 19, here attributed to an anonymous author). Among the Portuguese authors represented here, in addition to those mentioned above, are Soror Violante do Ceo, Francisco de Vasconcelos, D. Tomás de Noronha, D. Francisco Manuel de Melo, and André Nunes da Silva. The editor and compiler of this selection, Hernâni [António] Cidade (Redondo 1887-Évora 1975), is best known as an author of literary and cultural history and of literary biography. For a half century, he was a major force in the cultural life of Por- tugal. Cidade taught school in Coimbra, Leiria, Porto and Lisbon before moving on to an illustrious career in higher education at the Universities of Porto and Lisbon. In his youth Cidade was linked to the modernist movement, having been involved with the reviews Águia and Seara Nova, among others. He also collaborated in reviews such as those of the Faculdades de Letras of both Lisbon and Porto, newspapers (especially O Primeiro de Janeiro), and numerous collective projects such as the Grande enciclopédia portuguesa e brasileira and Dicionário de literatura. With Joaquim de Carvalho and Mário de Azevedo Gomes he edited the Diário liberal (Lisbon, 1934-1935); with Reynaldo dos Santos and Bernardo Marques he founded Colóquio—revista de artes e letras (1959-1970), and with Jacinto do Prado Coelho, in 1971, Colóquio / Letras (these last two published by the Gulbenkian Foundation). Provenance: Américo Cortez Pinto (1896-1979), physician, writer, poet and historian, native of the freguesia de Cortes in the concelho de Leiria. “Zezinha” is probably his wife. Américo Cortez Pinto studied at Coimbra, interned at Leira, served as a parliamentary deputy, a member of the Lisbon municipal council, and inspector of health studies, among other posts. He contributed to literary reviews such as A Tradição, Contemporânea, 10 richard c. ramer

A Galera, Letras e Artes, and Ícaro, of which he was one of the founders, along with Ernesto Gonçalves, Cabral do Nascimento, and Luís Vieira de Castro. In addition to a considerable output of poetry, prose, literary and historical works, he is best known for the polemical Da famosa arte da imprimissão: da imprensa em Portugal às cruzadas d’Além-Mar (1948), in which he defended the priority of Leiria in Portuguese Christian typography. While Chaves currently is agreed to have been the earliest Portuguese Christian printing site, Cortez Pinto’s investigations and conclusions regarding the diffusion of printing in Africa and Asia by the Portuguese remain valuable. Hernâni Cidade was one of Cortez Pinto’s closest friends. Others were Afonso Lopes Vieira, Carlos Queiroz, Lino António, António José Saraiva, Sebastião Pestana, and Mário Saa. On Cortez Pinto, see Paulo J. Pedrosa S. Gomes in Biblos, IV, 179-80; also Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 501-3; and Grande enciclopédia, VII, 818 and Actualização III, 498. j See Álvaro Manuel Machado, Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, p. 128; Maria de Lourdes Belchior in Biblos I, 1132-4; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 344-5; Grande enciclopedia VI, 751; Actualização III, 226.

A native of Cidade da Praia (1902-1971), Barbosa worked as a customs and municipal official in Cabo Verde while simultaneously pursuing a distinguished literary career. With his first poetry collection, Arquipélago (Praia, 1935), he introduced a new and distinctive Cabo Verdean poetry, no longer imitative of European forms. The following year, Barbosa joined with the writers Manuel and João Lopes and Baltasar Lopes da Silva to found the pioneering Cabo Verdean literary journal Claridade: “It can truly be said that Cape Verdean literature is divided into two periods: before and after Claridade” (Moser & Ferreira). Barbosa’s later verse collection, Caderno de um Ilhéu (Lisbon, 1956), was awarded the first Prémio de Poesia Camilo Pessanha by the Agência do Ultramar. j Moser & Ferreira, Bibliografia das literaturas africanas de expressão portuguesa pp. 129-30 and 138-9.

Although his works caused consternation when first published— Botto was the first openly homosexual Portuguese writer—he was soon accepted in the avant-garde literary magazines and later in mainstream publications. Provenance: Manuel dos Santos Guerra (1906- ), journalist and publicist, was propri- etor, editor, and publisher of the review Portugal d’aquém e d’além mar.

Biblos that Castilho published a biography of Nobre in 1950 (“exemplar tanto pelo rigor da investigação como pela empatia com o biografado”), another study in 1966 entitled António Nobre—a obra e o homem, and in 1967, an annotated edition of Nobre’s correspondence. The short-lived and controversial poet António [Pereira] Nobre (Porto 1867-Foz do Douro, 1900) was a key precursor to the Modernist movement. His Só was a seminal work for the Portuguese Symbolists. Guilherme de Castilho (Vila Nova de Foz Côa, 1912-Lisbon, 1987), diplomat, lec- turer, essayist and critic, specialized in biographies of modern Portuguese authors. He contributed to many important literary journals, among them Reista de Portugal, Seara Nova, Aventura, Colóquio, and Presença. He edited the journal Estudos and collaborated with João Gaspar Simões on Perspectivas da literatura portuguesa do século XIX and selected and annotated two series of Os melhores contos portugueses. The Dicionário cronológico notes, “Destacam-se de Guilherme de Castilho os estudos que se referem a António Nobre e a Raul Brandão, pelo empenho e rigor com que neles se detém, numa cuidada, inteligente e só ocasionalmente especulativa articulação entre os dados biográficos e a análise textual das respectivas obras.” j On the author, see Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses IV, 489; João Bigotte Chorão in Biblos, I, 1051-51.

Hernâni [António] Cidade (Redondo 1887-Évora 1975) is best known as an author of literary and cultural history and of literary biography. For a half century, he was a major force in the cultural life of Portugal. Cidade taught school in Coimbra, Leiria, Porto and Lisbon before moving on to an illustrious career in higher education at the Universities of Porto and Lisbon. In his youth Cidade was linked to the modernist movement, having been involved with the reviews Águia and Seara Nova, among others. He also collaborated in reviews such as those of the Faculdades de Letras of both Lisbon and Porto, newspapers (especially O Primeiro de Janeiro), and numerous collective projects such as the Grande enciclopédia portuguesa e brasileira and Dicionário de literatura. With Joaquim de Carvalho and Mário de Azevedo Gomes he edited the Diário liberal (Lisbon, 1934-1935); with Reynaldo dos Santos and Bernardo Marques he founded Colóquio—revista de artes e letras (1959-1970), and with Jacinto do Prado Coelho, in 1971, Colóquio / Letras (these last two published by the Gulbenkian Foundation). Provenance: Américo Cortez Pinto (1896-1979), physician, writer, poet and historian, native of the freguesia de Cortes in the concelho de Leiria. “Zezinha” is probably his wife. Américo Cortez Pinto studied at Coimbra, interned at Leira, served as a parliamentary deputy, a member of the Lisbon municipal council, and inspector of health studies, among other posts. He contributed to literary reviews such as A Tradição, Contemporânea, A Galera, Letras e Artes, and Ícaro, of which he was one of the founders, along with Ernesto Gonçalves, Cabral do Nascimento, and Luís Vieira de Castro. In addition to a considerable output of poetry, prose, literary and historical works, he is best known for the polemical Da famosa arte da imprimissão: da imprensa em Portugal às cruzadas d’Além-Mar (1948), in which he defended the priority of Leiria in Portuguese Christian typography. While Chaves currently is agreed to have been the earliest Portuguese Christian printing site, Cortez Pinto’s investigations and conclusions regarding the diffusion of printing in Africa and Asia by the Portuguese remain valuable. Hernâni Cidade was one of Cortez Pinto’s closest friends. Others were Afonso Lopes Vieira, Carlos Queiroz, Lino António, António José Saraiva, Sebastião Pestana, and Mário Saa.

Hernâni Cidade was one of Cortez Pinto’s closest friends. Others were Afonso Lopes Vieira, Carlos Queiroz, Lino António, António José Saraiva, Sebastião Pestana, and Mário Saa.

Physician, political figure, poet, short story writer, dramatist and historian, Jaime [Zuzarte] Cortesão (Ançã, Cantanhede 1884-Lisbon 1960) was the brother of the historian Armando Cortesão and son of the philologist António Augusto Cortesão. Fernando Pessoa called him “O primeiro dos poetas da novíssima geração” (p. [8]). Elected parliamentary deputy from Porto, then served as a captain in the medical corps during World War I. With Leonardo Coimbra and other intellectuals he founded the review Nova Silva in 1907. In 1910 he collaborated with Teixeira de Pascoaes to found Águia. In 1912 Cortesão established the review Renascença Portuguesa, which he abandoned in 1921 to become one of the founders of Seara Nova. In 1919 he became director of the Biblioteca Nacional, a post from which he was fired in 1927 for presiding over the Junta Revolucionária established in Porto in a failed attempt to topple the military dictatorship. During his tenure there he had been perhaps the leading light of the “Grupo da Biblioteca Nacional” which included Raul Proença, Álvaro Pinto, Paxcoaes, António Sérgio, Aquilino Ribeiro, Raul Brandão, Leite de Vasconcelos, and Malheiro Dias.

(1 blank l., 2 ll.), 310 pp., (1 l., 1 blank l.). $180.00 First Edition in French of one of the author’s more significant novels. The original Portuguese text was first published in 1965. The story is set in the mountains of Portugal (perhaps the author’s native Serra da Estrela) during an unspecified war—probably the Second World War. Nearby mines produce wolfram, a metal rare, strategic, and highly profitable, especially during wartime. The protagonist, teacher Jaime Faria, attempts to confront the problems of an isolated rural community steadily losing its inhabitants. Vergílio [António] Ferreira (Melo, Serra da Estrela, 1916-Lisbon 1996), an important novelist and essayist, was a significant figure in the transition from neo-realism to existentialism. Provenance: Robert Bréchon, poet, essayist and critic. Born in 1920, Bréchon was at first interested in contemporary poetry. He became known in the late 1950s for his studies on Michaux, on Surrealism, on Michel Leiris, etc., and then became a specialist in Portuguese literature, especially Fernando Pessoa, an edition of whose works he was editing for Christian Bourgois, and about whom he wrote a biography. He also completed a reference work by Georges Le Gentil, La Littérature portugaise. j Saraiva & Lopes, História da literatura portuguesa, 17th ed., pp. 1042, 1091-2 and throughout.

Júlia, iludida por um marido ‘Fantasma’, um homem com quem casou por procuração, em plena alucinação tropical e colonialista. Romance insólito, entre um realismo docu- mental e uma complexidade psicológica que, embora sem tiques psicologistas, foi de certo modo, herdada do presencismo.” (Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, p. 201.) According to Eduardo Lourenço, this novel “é bem um dos mais perfeitos exemplos do romance da ‘Ambiguidade’, espelho apropriado a uma situação ela mesma ambígua, crepuscular, entre dois mundos, de aquém-e-além-mar de todas as Áfricas da vida.” (Preface to the 3rd edition, Lisbon 1982). José Augusto França (b. Tomar, 1922) is perhaps the most distinguished living Portuguese art historian and one of Portugal’s leading intellectuals.

literary prizes. His earliest works were greatly influenced by existentialism, in particular following the literary model of Albert Camus. Simultaneously they display a certain Portuguese turn-of-the-century decadence, particularly influenced by Fialho de Almeida (especially obsessive evocations of the Alentejo), António Patrício and Manuel Teixeira Gomes, all of whom were discussed by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues in critical essays and later in his doctoral thesis.

Aleijadinho (i.e., António Francisco Lisboa), noted sculptor and architect of Brazil’s colonial period, was born in Ouro Preto (then called Vila Rica), Minas Geraes, in 1730 or 1738, son of a Portuguese man and an African slave. For decades before his death in 1814, he was disabled by a disfiguring disease— probably leprosy, perhaps scleroderma—hence his nickname, “The Little Cripple.” His most notable work (among many notable works) is the Twelve Prophets at the sanctuary of Bom Jesus at Congonhas, 1800-1805. Provenance: “Embaixador Fragoso” appears to be Aguinaldo Boulitreau Fragoso, who among other posts, served as Brazilian ambassador to Argentina in the 1960s. He was assistant to the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs at Breton Woods. j On Aleijadinho, see Pamplona, Dicionário de pintores e escultores portugueses I, 38-42 (bibliographical references for the article end at 1948).

It concentrates on the period from the 1755 earthquake to the extinction of the Casa dos Vinte e Quatro in 1824. Important new regulations were instituted under the Marquês de Pombal in 1771. The Casa dos Vinte e Quatro was an organ of the municipal government of Lisbon created in 1384 by the Mestre de Avis, D. João I. Consisting of 24 officials representing the twelve mechanical offices, it was a deliberative body, requiring a majority vote before putting into practice any measures. Members of the house, who had to be 40 years old, were elected by a vote of two-thirds of the masters of their respective guilds. Later this institution spread to other municipalities in Portugal, and even to some overseas cities in the Portuguese Empire. In smaller municipalities within Portugal, special list 269 49

A primary school teacher, she became an administrative inspector for her specialty before being assigned to the district of Braga. Rejecting this “exile”, mainly due to the disfavor her advanced ideas on education met with on the part of the authorities, her dismissal was effectively forced. Provenance: Acúrcio Pereira (1891-1977) was considered the dean of Portuguese journalists; he wrote for practically every daily newspaper published in Lisbon and Porto during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, as well as for literary reviews and magazines.

Poem by One of the Few to Appreciate Fernando Pessoa in His Lifetime *65. MONTEIRO, Adolfo Casais. Europa. Lisbon: Editorial Confluência, 1946. Large 8°, original illustrated wrappers. Full-page illustration by António Dacosta on verso of half title; another illustration by the same artist on the front cover. Some very slight foxing to covers. Light toning. Overall in very good condition. Author’s signed and dated five-line presentation inscription on blank p. [3]: “Ao Dr. Tomás da Fonseca, // homenagem de muito // respeito e admiração de // Adolfo Casais Monteiro // Lx. 7/II/46”. 38 pp., (1 l. colophon). $400.00 FIRST EDITION. Dedicated to António Pedro, this poem consists of the author’s hopes and aspirations for Europe, and for Portugal as a part of Europe, following the devastation and misery of the Second World War. An earlier, slightly different version of the poem had been aired on the BBC’s Portuguese-language transmission of 23 May 1945. The colophon states that the edition consisted of 200 copies: 15 on papel Ingres PMF, numbered 1 through 15 and signed by the author; 95 on papel Offset S.S. Mate, 60 richard c. ramer

for subscribers, numbered 16 to 110, signed by the author; and 90 also on papel Offset S.S. Mate, numbered 111 to 200. It is further stated that there were a few extra copies, unnumbered, of which the present copy is one. One of the leading voices of the second generation of Portuguese Modernism, Adolfo Casais Monteiro (Porto 1908-São Paulo 1972) was a poet, literary critic and educator. Monteiro, Leonardo Coimbra and Sant’Ana Dionísio formed the editorial board of Águia in the late 1920s. He was an early and frequent contributor to the review Presença, and beginning with number 33, he joined José Régio and João Gaspar Simões in its direction. Monteiro was actively opposed to the Salazar regime, and was forced into exile in 1954. He spent the rest of his life in Brazil. Monteiro, Luís de Montalvor, and João Gaspar Simões, were among the few who appreciated Fernando Pessoa during Pessoa’s lifetime. Monteiro was influential in promoting Pessoa’s reputation after Pessoa’s death. Provenance: The poet, author of fiction, essayist, historiographer, journalist, teacher, and militant anti-clerical republican [João] Tomás da Fonseca (Mortágua, district of Viseu, 1877-Lisbon, 1968), a freemason, belonged to the Movimento de Unidade Democrática. He wrote well over 20 books on a wide variety of subjects, founded, directed, and contributed to a number of newspapers, magazines and reviews, and was one of the most important sources for republican propaganda in the campaign prior to the establish- ment of the Portuguese Republic in 1910. He served the first president of the Republic, Teófilo Braga, as hief of staff, and in 1916 was elected senator from the district of Viseu. For opposing the dictatorship of Sidónio Pais, Fonseca spent two months in prison in 1918, and he was imprisoned again in November 1928 for participating in the 20 July revolutionary movement. On several occasions his books were confiscated by the PIDE. In May 1947, he was sent to prison yet again for protesting conditions at the so-called concentration camp of Tarrafal, Cabo Verde. He was the father of the author Branquinho da Fonseca. See Cristina Mello in Biblos, II, 656-7; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 187-90. j On Casais Monteiro see Fernando J.B.

Historical Novella About José Régio *68. NEVES, Joaquim Pacheco. Evocação de José Régio: doença e morte. [Póvoa de Varzim]: Edições Ser, 1978. 8°, original illustrated wrappers (sound, but with some wear). Internally very good. Overall in good to very good condition. Author’s difficult-to-decipher signed (“Joaquim Neves”) and dated (“1/3/78”) six-line presentation inscription in lower portion of half title. 241 pp., (3 ll.), errata slip at end. ISBN: none. $100.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this intimate and revealing historical novella about the final months of José Régio’s life, written by a close friend of Régio’s who was also a physician. It includes descriptions of Alberto de Serpa and others who were close to Régio at the time, and of various physicians who tended him as his health deteriorated due to a heart condition and edema in his lungs. Aside from Régio’s state of mind, the novella is interesting for the information it offers on Régio’s acquisition of the establishments that later became the Casa-Museu in Portalegre and the Casa [Museu] de José Régio in Vila do Conde, and the cost of renovating those buildings. Neves’s heartfelt prose is particularly evident in the preface (pp. 5-24) and in the “Marginalia” chapters, which include articles Neves wrote about Régio for several newspapers: “O meu testamunho” (pp. 197-200, printed in O Comércio do Porto, 4 de Janeiro de 1970); “Evocação” (pp. 217-220, printed in O Comércio do Porto, 24 de Dezembro de 1972), and “Notícias de Régio, A ‘Tortura da Forma’ na obra do poeta” (O Século, 19 de Janeiro de 1977). Joaquim [Maria] Pacheco Neves (b. Vila do Conde, 1910-Porto, 1998) was a physician, author of fiction, playwright, and literary historian. He received a medical degree from the Universidade do Porto (1932) and was elected mayor and deputy mayor of Vila do Conde. Two of his collections of short stories won major literary prizes, as did one of his plays. He published a number of books, both scientific and literary, was a founder of the Vila do Conde weekly newspaper Novo rumo, and contributed to the Jornal médico. j See Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, IV, 432-3; João Conde Veiga, in Biblos, III, 1125-7; and Grande enciclopédia, XVIII, 680.

Color abstract pictorial bookplate of Joaquim Pessoa. (1 blank l., 2 ll.), 76 pp., (3 ll.). ISBN: none. $400.00 FIRST EDITION of this significant book of poems. Alexandre O’Neill [Alexandre Manuel Vahia de Castro O’Neill de Bulhões] (Lisbon, 1924-1986), an important Surrealist artist, poet, and writer, was one of the founders of the Lisbon Surrealist Movement, although he soon split from it. He is known for disrespecting social and literary conventions, for his black humor, and for his love/hate attitude toward Portugal. He made his living as a publicist, and his witty way with words can be seen in his poetry as well. Always appreciated by a select elite, O’Neill’s poetry has been gaining increas- ing critical recognition in recent years, and O’Neill is becoming recognized as one of the major Portuguese literary figures of the twentieth century. A sculpture of him (of a rather surreal appearance!) has been erected in Oeiras in the Parque dos Poetas, which was established in 2003. His first book of poetry, Tempo de fantasmas, was published in 1951, and 1956 saw the publication of No Reino de Dinamarca, perhaps his most successful book of poems: it appeared again in 1967, 1969, 1974, 1997, and 1999. Provenance: Clara [Crabbe] Rocha (b. 1955), Portuguese essayist, literary historian, critic and university professor, daughter of Adolfo Correia Rocha (Miguel Torga) and Andrée Crabbé Rocha (university professor of Belgian origin). In 1987 she was awarded the Ordem do Infante D. Henrique. She has participated in diverse Portuguese and international juries for literary prizes, among them the Prémio Literário Europeu (1992 e 1993) and the Prémio Camões (2013). Her doctoral dissertation, published in 1985, was the influential Revistas Literárias do Século XX em Portugal,—perhaps the work in prog- ress O’Neill was referring to in his presentation inscription. Her early work, O Espaço Autobiográfico em Miguel Torga, Coimbra: Almedina, 1977, is still considered an essential text. She was also responsible for Miguel Torga, Fotobiografia, Lisboa: Publicações Dom Quixote, 2000, and for writings about Mário Sá Carneiro, as well as Alexandre O’Neill. Her O Cachimbo de António Nobre e Outros Ensaios, Lisboa: Publicações Dom Quixote, 2003 was awarded the Prémio de Ensaio do PEN Clube Português and the Grande Prémio de Ensaio 2003 of the Associação Portuguesa de Escritores. See José Augusto Cardoso Bernardes in Biblos, IV, 879-80. Joaquim [Maria] Pessoa (b. 1948), poet, artist, publicist, student of Portuguese pre- history, and book collector, was the author or co-author of many Portuguese television programs, and for six years (1988-1994) was director of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores. He also founded the artistic cooperative Toma Lá Disco, with Ary dos Santos, Fernando Tordo, Carlos Mendes, Paulo de Carvalho and Luiz Villas-Boas, among others.

ISBN: none. $300.00 FIRST EDITION; the text was published again in 1973, and a third edition, revised and augmented, appeared in 1998. Difficult to categorize, this book has been described as a “romance de natureza fragmentária e de carácter experimentalista ….” The bohemian critic, polemicist, writer of fiction and publisher Luiz Pacheco, collaborated in A afixação proibida, the first Portuguese surrealist manifesto. Provenance: František Listopad (born Jiří Synek, Prague, November 26, 1921), in Portugal known as Jorge Listopad, is a Czech poet, prose writer, essayist, and theatre and television director. He promotes Czech literature and culture abroad and is regarded as an expert on Central European thought and cultural output. He was the co-founder of the daily newspaper Mladá fronta. In 1947, he was the press attaché of the Czechoslovak Embassy in Paris and an editor of the Parisian weekly Parallele 50. In Paris he knew personally Aragon, Beckett, Camus, Celine, Cocteau, Ionesco, Malraux, Marcel Marceau, Marguerite Duras, Mitterand, Romain Roland, Sartre, Tristan Tzara, among others. After February 1948 he was recalled, but remained in Paris, working for ORTF until 1958, when he left for Portugal, where he has lived since. He is said to have learned Portuguese by reading O crime do Padre Amaro in Portuguese, without a dictionary. Listopad has written more than 25 volumes of poetry, stories, and novels, and has translated Fernando Pes- soa into Czech.

Author’s warm signed and dated (“1942”) five-line presentation inscription to [Ernesto] Belo Redondo on half title. 334 pp., (1 l.), errata slip tipped in. $350.00 FIRST EDITION of this collection of six interconnected novelas set in New York, Philadelphia and Washington at the onset of World War II. The book had gone through five editions by 1968, as well as having been translated into Spanish and published in Madrid, 1944. This is one of Paço d’Arcos’s principal works. The second novela—Ao longe os arranha-céus—opens (pp. 83-9) in the Philadelphia shop of the legendary antiquarian bookseller A.S.W. Rosenbach. Offered an autographed volume from Byron’s library, Rosenbach’s employees decline to purchase it, advising the owner to take it to England, where Byron is more appreciated and presumably the dealers can offer a higher price. Edgar Allan Poe, on the other hand, would be of more interest! Booksellers are characterized thus: “êles eram, na cidade chaguenta dum materialismo supurado, os últimos guardiães da riqueza espiritual das coisas antigas e raras que do passado vieram até nós,” but must nonetheless mind the bottom line. Paço d’Arcos (1908-1979) was a dramatist, poet and literary critic as well as one of the most popular novelists in Portugal during the 1940s and 1950s. His works have been widely translated.

Paço d’Arcos (1908-1979) was a dramatist and literary critic as well as one of the most popular novelists in Portugal during the 1940s and 1950s.

Poet from an early age, his work is dispersed in various literary reviews, the most notable of which was Presença, to which he was one of the most frequent contributors; he served as a bridge between the Modernist generation of Orpheu and that of Presença in general, and in particular between Fernando Pessoa and Presença. In the July 1936 issue (nº 48), he published a “Carta à memória de Fernando Pessoa”. Carlos Queiroz’s writings also appeared in the literary reviews Contemporânea, Cancioneiro (do Primeiro Salão dos Independentes), Momento, Sudoeste, Revista de Portugal, Cadernos de poesia, Aventura, and Variante.

He received a degree in geology from the Faculdade de Ciências of the Univer- sidade de Lisboa, wrote several scientific books and papers on the subject, and worked for a number of years as chief meteorologist for Pan American Airways in Lisbon. Later he worked as meteorologist for the Portuguese national weather service in Lisbon, the Açores, Madeira, Cabo Verde, Angola and Moçambique. He also served as a sort of cultural attaché in Brazil (1973-1978), and was vice president of the Instituto de Cultura e Língua Portuguesa (1978-1982). Much of his poetry was published in reviews, such as Cadernos de poesia (of which he was one of the directors, along with Ruy Cinatti and Tomaz Kim; later with Jorge de Sena and José Augusto França), Aventura, Litoral, Tricórnio, A Serpente, and Graal. Besides the present work his books of poetry are Parva Naturalia (1960; Prémio Fernando Pessoa), O Espaço Prometido (1960); Odes Pedestres (1965; Prémio Casa da Imprensa), and Enéadas (1959; Prémio do P.E.N. Club Português, for the body of his work). In addition to Elliot, he was influenced by Ezra Pound. His poems have been translated into French, Spanish, English, German and Swedish.

Author’s First Book 81. QUADROS, António, [Gabriel de Castro Ferro]. Modernos de ontem e de hoje. Lisbon: Portugália Editora, 1947. 8°, original illustrated wrappers. A few small stains. Uncut and unopened. In very good to fine condition. Author’s signed seven-line presentation inscription on half title: “Ao Sr. Dr. Matos Romão, // mestre de filosofia e // psicologia, do seu // divúlgalo [?] de “Experimental”, // com todo o respeito e // admiração // António Quadros”. 298 pp., (3 ll.). $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of the author’s FIRST BOOK. This collection of literary criticism, includes essays on Marcel Proust, D.H. Lawrence, Alain Fournier, Jean Giraudoux, Georges Duhamel, Katherine Mansfield, Aldous Huxley, José Lins do Rego, Hemingway, Erskine Caldwell, Erico Veríssimo, Henry Miller, Arthur Koestler, Cesário Verde, Mário de Sá Carneiro, Fernando Pessoa, Armando Cortes Rodrigues, Eça de Queiros, and others. It is significant as a relatively early appreciation of Pessoa, about whom Quadros would become a leading authority, and an introduction of many inter- nationally acclaimed authors to the Portuguese reading public. The writer and thinker António Quadros (1923-1993) was the son of authors António Ferro and Fernanda de Castro. He was important as a poet and author of fiction, but perhaps most of all as one of the leading literary critics and teachers of his time. Provenance: On João António Matos Romão (1882-?), professor at the Universidade de Lisboa and writer, see Grande enciclopédia XVI, 610. The presentation inscription no doubt alludes to Matos Romão’s publication that year in the Revista da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa of “Galileu e o método científico”. j See Luís Forjaz Trigueiros in Machado, Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, pp. 392-3; João Bigotte Chorão in Biblos, IV, 489-91; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, V, 292-5.

In the Alentejo, where Tavares Rodri- gues grew up and which is a recurring setting for his work, Irisalva, daughter of a large landowner, revolts against the status-quo. The present book marks the beginning of the author’s second phase, characterized by an amplification of the erotic combined with an increased political conscience. Urbano Tavares Rodrigues (born Lisbon, 1923) grew up in Moura, in the Alentejo, in a family of large landowners, and eventually became a militant communist. He is a widely acclaimed and prolific author of fiction, researcher, essayist, literary critic, professor Catedrático jubilado at the Faculdade de Letras, Universidade de Lisboa, member of the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, and recipient of many literary prizes. His earliest works were greatly influenced by existentialism, in particular following the literary model of Albert Camus. Simultaneously they display a certain Portuguese turn-of-the-century decadence, particularly influenced by Fialho de Almeida (especially obsessive evocations of the Alentejo), António Patrício and Manuel Teixeira Gomes, all of whom were discussed by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues in critical essays and later in his doctoral thesis. Provenance: Alfredo Ribeiro dos Santos (Porto, 1917-Porto, 2012), physician, was one of the pioneers of modern anesthesiology in Portugal. Influenced by Leonardo Coimbra, Agostinho da Silva, Sant’Anna Dionísio, Abel Salazar, Jaime Cortesão, Veiga Pires e José Augusto Seabra, he was active in the struggle against the Salazar regime, participating in the Movimento de Unidade Democrática (MUD), the presidential campaign of general Norton de Matos (1948) and that of general Humberto Delgado (1958). Noted bibliophile and collector of reviews, literary journals, and newspapers, he formed one of the most significant libraries in the city of Porto; the auction sale in October 2007, included 3,561 lots.

Alberto de Serpa Esteves de Oliveira (1906-1992), poet, dramatist, essayist and book collector, attended the University of Coimbra for three years but was more interested in collaborating with the writers of Presença than in studying. He published his first novel, Saudade do mar, at age 17, and two collections of poetry (Quadras and Evoé) soon after, but it was his later collections Varanda, 1934, and Vinte poemas da noite, 1935, that led to his unanimous recognition by critics as an important modern poet. Casais Monteiro says that Serpa, along with Branquinho da Fonseca, Carlos Queirós and Francisco Bugalho, give us “um novo aspecto do abandono egotista a um eu inadaptado à acção …[Serpa] tem, na poesia, não uma via de contacto com a realidade, mas, por assim dizer, um instrumento a cuja musica embala a sua dolorosa impressão de diferença e de incompatibilidade” (p. 239). After his years in Coimbra, Serpa returned to his native Porto and became an insur- ance broker. He was imprisoned for political reasons in 1936, and at the same period became once again a fervent Catholic. Throughout his life he contributed to Portuguese literary reviews, including A Aguia, Aventura, Cadernos de poesia, Cavalo de todas as cores (co-editor), Diálogo, Momento, Presença (editor of the second series, 1939-40), Quatro ventos and Tríptico. Provenance: Alfredo Ribeiro dos Santos (Porto, 1917-Porto, 2012), physician, was one of the pioneers of modern anesthesiology in Portugal. Influenced by Leonardo Coimbra, Agostinho da Silva, Sant’Anna Dionísio, Abel Salazar, Jaime Cortesão, Veiga Pires e José Augusto Seabra, he was active in the struggle against the Salazar regime, participating in the Movimento de Unidade Democrática (MUD), the presidential campaign of general Norton de Matos (1948) and that of general Humberto Delgado (1958). Noted bibliophile and collector of reviews, literary journals, and newspapers, he formed one of the most significant libraries in the city of Porto; the auction sale in October 2007, included 3,561 lots. Author of História Literária do Porto através das suas publicações periódicas (2002), he contributed to a number of reviews and newspapers, including Portucale, Nova Renascença (directing the editorial board from 1980 to 1999), O Tripeiro, Cadernos do Tâmega, Letras & Letras, O Comércio do Porto, O Primeiro de Janeiro, Jornal de Notícias, Notícias da Tarde, and Jornal de Amarante. j Casais Monteiro, Poesia portuguesa contemporânea pp. 239-45.

Scattered light spotting. Overall in very good condition. Author’s signed five-line presentation inscription in green ink on half title: “A Luiz de Montalvor, // amigo a quem muito //estimo e poeta qui muito //admiro // Jose Gaspar Simoes”. (5 ll.), 234 pp., (1 l.). $350.00 Second edition, revised, of the author’s first work of fiction (originally published 1932), and only his third published work; rare. Saraiva & Lopes (História da literatura portuguesa [1976], pp. 1095) describe Elói as “a primeira demonstração convincente do romance introspectivo, que não dispensa um certo romanesco de bas-fonds mas se con- centra num só dia de reacções psicológicas de um homem ciumento quase vulgar.” It was awarded the Prémio da Imprensa. One of the most influential Portuguese literary figures of the second and third quarters of the twentieth century, Simões (1903-1987) enjoyed a distinguished career as an author of fiction, poet, dramatist, novelist, literary critic, director of literary magazines and publishing houses, and librarian. He was a co-founder of the influential literary review Presença (1927), literary critic for the Diario de Lisboa, and co-editor of the complete works of Fernando Pessoa. Provenance: Luiz de Montalvor was the pseudonym of Luís Filipe Saldanha da Gama da Silva Ramos (Sál Vicente, Cabo Verde, 1891-Lisbon, 1947), poet, essayist and critic, co-editor of volume I of Orpheu, friend of Pessoa and Mário de Sá-Carneiro. He also edited Centauro, where in 1916 he wrote a revelatory essay on the poetic genius of Camilo Pessanha, and collaborated in the reviews Exílio, Contemporânea, Presença, and Sudoeste. Simões and Montalvor were among the few literary figures who appreciated Fernando Pessoa in his lifetime, and who worked to advance the reputation of Pes- soa after his death.

Author’s signed (“Eduardo”) and dated (1964) four-line ink inscription to his friend and comrade Cesto Lobo. 253 pp., (1 l.). $160.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this collection of short stories. The cover design by Fernando Marques is based on a concept of the author. Eduardo Teófilo (Eduardo Teófilo Braga, Évora, 1923-Lisbon, 1980) published poetry and short stories. Educated in Évora and Lisbon, he went to work in Angola in 1954, remaining there until 1975, when he returned to Lisbon. According to the Dicionário cronologico, “O cenário da sua poesia e dos seus contos é muito mais frequentemente o europeu do que o africano, posto que as suas intervenções de temática negra e angolana demonstrem sensibilidade àquele meio e àqueles gentes que, no entanto, nunca deixaria de ver na qualidade de observador europeu. E esta sinceridade não será um dos menores méritos, não sendo o único, da sua obra.” His works appeared in Contos d’Africa, 1961, Imbondeiro Gigante I, 1963, and Contos portugueses do Ultramar, 1969. His works were among those published in the important Colecção Imbondeiro. Imbondeiro was established by Garibaldino de Andrade and Leonel Cosme in January 1960 in Sá da Bandeira (now Lumbango). A monthly publication, Colecção Imbon- deiro, aimed to disseminate the literature of Portugal’s colonies. Within a few months, its circulation had reached two thousand. Imbondeiro also published multi-volume anthologies, including Mákua (poetry), Dendela (children’s literature), Imbondeiro Gigante (short stories), Livro de Bolso Imbondeiro (short stories, novellas, and dramas), Contos d’Africa and Novos contos d’Africa. In these and the 68 issues of the Colecção Imbondeiro, the Imbondeiro press introduced more than sixty authors who were significant in the literature of the Portuguese colonies. Imbondeiro was the largest publisher of its time in Angola. Its rival in publishing authors in the Portuguese colonies was the Casa dos Estudantes do Império, based in Lisbon, whose Colecção Autores Ultramarinos tended to be more favorable to the Portuguese government. Imbondeiro was so influential that in 1965 the Portuguese authorities shut it down, based partly on the fact that some of Imbondeiro’s authors had expressed disaffection with the government. j Moser and Ferreira, A New Bibliography of the Lusophone Literatures of Africa, nº 1405: calling for only 225 pp. (the collation of our copy agrees with Porbase); also, thirteen other works by the author.

Relatively Early Poem by Torga, With His Signed and Dated Presentation Inscription to an Old Friend 126. TORGA, Miguel [pseudonym of Adolfo Rocha]. Lamentação. Poema. Coimbra: Atlantida, 1942. 8°, later quarter morocco over cloth boards, spine with raised bands in six compartments, dark green morocco lettering piece in second compartment from head, gilt letter and gilt fillets on bands, original printed wrappers bound in. Foxing to front wrapper. Overall in very good condition.

Ticket of the Porto bookseller Manuel Ferreira in upper outer corner of front pastedown endleaf, partially obscured by the much larger engraved armorial bookplate of Dom Diogo de Bragança (Lafões). 32 pp., (1 l. colophon). $500.00 FIRST EDITION of this significant, relatively early poem. Among the most important Portuguese authors of the twentieth century (“figura cimeira das Letras portuguesas”- Grande enciclopédia, Actualização, X, 397), the physician Adolfo Rocha (1907-1995) was at the center of the “Grupo Presença”. His poetry is said to reflect “ainda as apreensões, esperanças e angústias do seu tempo, dentro de um ângulo individualista e, no fundo, religioso de visão, e a sua pureza e originalidade rítmicas, a coerência orgânica das suas imagens impõem-se …” (Saraiva & Lopes, História da literatura Portuguesa [17th ed., 2001], p. 1015). Adolfo [Corrêa] Rocha, who wrote under the pseudonym Miguel Torga, made major contributions to Portuguese prose and poetry. Born in 1907 in S. Martinho de Anta, Trás-os-Montes, he made his literary debut in 1928 with Ansiedade (not offered for sale to the public), followed by Rampa, 1930, Tributo, 1931, and Abismo, 1932, all innovative in form and nonconformist in content. He gained wide public acclaim in 1936, with O outro Livro de Job, and his autobiographical series A criação do Mundo (os dos primeiros dias), 1937, O terceiro dia da criação do Mundo, 1939, and O quarto dia da criação do Mundo, 1939, is considered one of the major Portuguese prose works of this century. Torga was associated with the second Modernist movement, but broke away from it in 1930 to fol- low his own path: “verdadeiramente inconfundivel, caracterizado por um realismo de sentido individualizante, de feição violenta e vitalista, socialmente responsabilizado e responsabilizador” (Magalhães Gonçalves, p. 12). Provenance: According to penciled inscriptions we have seen in other volumes with similar presentation inscriptions, bindings, and provenance (in the hand of the Porto bookseller Manuel Ferreria [?] or of Diogo Lafões [?]), “Jose Maria” was José Maria Reis Pereira, who wrote under the pseudonym José Régio, one of the most important forces in the second wave of Portuguese modernism. Régio collaborated with Torga on the influential literary review Presença. However, we have been informed by a colleague who handled a similar volume in which the full name of the recipient was present in the inscription, that “José Maria” was José Maria Lopes Gomes, apparently an old friend. Dom Diogo de Bragança (Lafões) (Lisbon, 1930-Lisbon, 2012) was an accomplished equestrian, author of books on dressage, and a dedicated bibliophile whose collection focused on books about horses and horsemanship, plus works on Portuguese history and literature. Dom Diogo used the courtesy title Marquês de Marialva, by permission of his elder brother, Dom Lopo de Bragança, Duque de Lafões, the actual holder of the 118 richard c. ramer

His poetry is said to reflect “ainda as apreensões, esperanças e angústias do seu tempo, dentro de um ângulo individualista e, no fundo, religioso de visão, e a sua pureza e originalidade rítmicas, a coerência orgânica das suas imagens impõem-se …” (Saraiva & Lopes, História da literatura Portuguesa [17th ed., 2001], p. 1015). Adolfo [Corrêa] Rocha, who wrote under the pseudonym Miguel Torga, made major contributions to Portuguese prose and poetry. Born in 1907 in S. Martinho de Anta, Trás-os-Montes, he made his literary debut in 1928 with Ansiedade (not offered for sale to the public), followed by Rampa, 1930, Tributo, 1931, and Abismo, 1932, all innovative in form and nonconformist in content. He gained wide public acclaim in 1936, with O outro Livro de Job, and his autobiographical series A criação do Mundo (os dos primeiros dias), 1937, O terceiro dia da criação do Mundo, 1939, and O quarto dia da criação do Mundo, 1939, is considered one of the major Portuguese prose works of this century. Torga was associated with the second Modernist movement, but broke away from it in 1930 to fol- low his own path: “verdadeiramente inconfundivel, caracterizado por um realismo de sentido individualizante, de feição violenta e vitalista, socialmente responsabilizado e responsabilizador” (Magalhães Gonçalves, p. 12). Provenance: According to a penciled inscription (in the hand of the Porto bookseller Manuel Ferreira [?] or Dom Diogo de Bragança [?]) on the front free endleaf recto of this volume “Jose Maria” was José Maria Reis Pereira, who wrote under the pseudonym José Régio, one of the most important forces in the second wave of Portuguese modernism. Régio collaborated with Torga on the influential literary reviewPresença. However, we have been informed by a colleague who has handled another similar volume in special list 269 123

which the full name of the recipient was present in the inscription, “José Maria” was José Maria Lopes Gomes, apparently an old friend. Dom Diogo de Bragança (Lafões) (Lisbon, 1930-Lisbon, 2012) was an accomplished equestrian, author of books on dressage, and a dedicated bibliophile whose collection focused on books about horses and horsemanship, plus works on Portuguese history and literature. Dom Diogo used the courtesy title Marquês de Marialva, by permission of his elder brother, Dom Lopo de Bragança, Duque de Lafões, the actual holder of the title.

Alexandre [Maria] Pinheiro Torres (Amarante, 1923-1999 ) was a Portuguese neoreal- ist writer, scholar, and literary critic, winner of a number of literary prizes. He was one of the founders of the review A Serpente. One of his books of poems was included in the series Novo Cancioneiro. Torres was removed from his position as a secondary school teacher by the Salazar regime, perhaps because as a member of the jury for the Grande Prémio de Ficção in 1965, he favored awarging the prize to Luandino Vieira, who was at the time imprisoned at Tarrafal on the island of Cabo Verde. Torres went into exile in Brazil, and soon afterward took a post as professor at the University of Cardiff. There 124 richard c. ramer he created the discipline “Portuguese African Literature”. Pinheiro Torres translated Hemingway and D.H. Lawrence into Portuguese. Provenance: Alexandre O’Neill [Alexandre Manuel Vahia de Castro O’Neill de Bulhões] (Lisbon, 1924-1986), an important Surrealist artist, poet, and writer, was one of the founders of the Lisbon Surrealist Movement, although he soon split from it. He was known for disrespecting social and literary conventions, for his black humor, and for his love/hate attitude toward Portugal. He made his living as a publicist, and his witty way with words can be seen in his poetry as well. Always appreciated by a select elite, O’Neill’s poetry has been gaining increas- ing critical recognition in recent years, and O’Neill is becoming recognized as one of the major Portuguese literary figures of the twentieth century. A sculpture of him (of a rather surreal appearance!) was erected in Oeiras in the Parque dos Poetas, which was established in 2003. His first book of poetry, Tempo de fantasmas, was published in 1951, and 1956 saw the publication of No Reino de Dinamarca, perhaps his most successful book of poems.
