Synopsis
A luminous rediscovery of Portuguese literature, now presented in English.
Nights in Cintra is a charming literary journey into one of Portugal’s most romantic landscapes: the moonlit hills, gardens, palaces, roads, and legends of Cintra. Written with wit, nostalgia, and delicate irony, Alberto Pimentel’s novel follows a group of friends who leave Lisbon in search of beauty, pleasure, conversation, and escape. What begins as an excursion soon becomes a tapestry of memory, sentiment, humor, and poetic observation.
In this elegant work, Cintra is more than a setting. It is a living presence: mysterious, theatrical, seductive, and deeply tied to Portugal’s cultural imagination. Pimentel captures the atmosphere of a vanished world, where friendship, courtship, literary allusion, and social comedy meet under the shadow of old estates and ancient hills.
This complete English translation preserves the spirit of the original Portuguese text while making the work accessible to contemporary readers. Ideal for lovers of classic European fiction, Portuguese literature, literary travel writing, and atmospheric nineteenth-century storytelling, Nights in Cintra offers a rare opportunity to encounter a forgotten voice from Portugal’s literary past.
