About the AuthorEugénio de Andrade was born in 1923 in Povoa de Atalaia, a small village in Portugal close to the Spanish border. He published his first poem at the age of sixteen, his first book three years later. He has received every literary prize his country offers, as well as several international ones, including, by acclaim, the Portuguese language's most prestigious award, the Camoes Prize (2000), among whose previous winners are Jorge Amado and José Saramago. Alexis Levitin, a professor of English at the State University of New York-Plattsburgh, has translated nine previous books of Andrade's poetry. His translation of Soulstorm, stories by Clarice Lispector, was published by New Directions in 1988. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
