Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A haunting collection of Portuguese symbolist tales, now presented in English for modern readers.In Restless Evening: Stories, António Patrício invites the reader into a world of feverish beauty, spiritual unrest, psychological tension, and luminous decay. First published in 1920 as Serão Inquieto, this collection gathers six remarkable prose works: 'Dialogue with an Eagle,' 'The Precocious Child,' 'The Man of the Fountains,' 'Suze,' 'Veiga,' and 'Words.'Patrício's fiction moves between dream and confession, satire and tragedy, tenderness and cruelty. His characters are often caught at the edge of revelation: a child too sensitive for the world, a man haunted by water and memory, a fading romantic soul, a woman rendered through fragments of desire and illusion, and voices struggling to give shape to the unsayable.Elegant, intense, and atmospheric, these stories belong to the fin-de-siècle tradition of European symbolism while remaining distinctly Portuguese in their melancholy, irony, and lyrical force. This edition offers a complete English translation, accompanied by editorial notes that preserve the historical and literary texture of the original.For readers of decadent literature, symbolist prose, psychological fiction, and overlooked European classics, Restless Evening is an extraordinary rediscovery. …
