This collection of stories by Mia Couto explores the encounters and disagreements between African culture and Western rationalism. Through stories that intertwine magical traditions and skeptical modernism, the author immerses us in the daily life of Mozambique, revealing the tenderness of passion, racist prejudices, and the borders between the rural and urban world. Couto transforms popular speech and history into a vibrant and colorful narrative, where fantasy and legend intertwine to show the richness of the African continent.
António Emílio Leite Couto, better known as Mia Couto, is a Mozambican writer. He won the Camões Prize in 2013, the most important literary award in the Portuguese language, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 2014.
