Portuguese with Sílvia
About this episode

Today you can improve your Portuguese a little bit more, while you hear me talking about one of the most important writers of Portugal. He died recently, very old and had a very short career as a writer, but he managed to publish dozens of books and also to win the Nobel prize of Literature!

He was a controversial characters, loved and hated.

For me, he is my favorite Portuguese book writer. Come and learn a bit about him.
