About This Item
Lisbon, Editorial Caminho, 1996.. FIRST EDITION. 8°, original illustrated wrappers. As new. 154 pp., (3 ll. advt.). *** FIRST EDITION. A seventh edition appeared in 2003. This novella has achieved both critical and commercial success. Born in Beira, Moçambique, in 1955, the biologist António Emílio Leite Couto, better known as Mia Couto, was editor of the review Tempo and of the newspaper Noticias de Maputo. His first longer work of fiction, Terra sonâmbula, appeared in 1992; a second, Estórias abensonhadas, followed in 1994. He has published two books of poems, six collections of short stories, at least one of which—Vozes anoitecidas—was translated into English and published by Heinemann, four books of "Crónicas" and eighteen novels or novellas; many of his books have appeared in multiple editions, while they have been translated as well into Spanish, French, Italian, Catalan, German, Czech, Swedish, Norwegian, Serbian, Estonian, Dutch and Chinese. The Prémio Vergílio Ferreira was awarded to Mia Couto in 1999 for his work as a whole, and he was awarded the Prémio Camões, the most important literary award in the Portuguese language, in 2013, among other prestigious literary prizes. In 1998, Couto was elected into the Brazilian Academy of Letters, the first African writer to receive such an honor.***
