«Crónica do Tempo» is the novel by Maria Isabel Barreno, published by Caminho in paperback (306 pages, in Portuguese).
The chronicle opens with a certainty: without changing place, one discovers that one no longer lives in the same society or the same city and has been leaving parts of oneself along the way. Time is the true protagonist of all stories. It then follows Jorge and those who were linked to him in the early decades of the 20th century.
Winner of the Prémio Literário Fernando Namora in 1991; the novel was originally published in 1990.
For readers of contemporary Portuguese fiction interested in the passage of time, memory, and social change.
Maria Isabel Barreno de Faria Martins GOIH was a Portuguese writer, essayist, journalist and sculptor. She was one of the authors of the book Novas Cartas Portugesas, together with Maria Teresa Horta and Maria Velho da Costa. The authors, known as the "Three Marias," were arrested, jailed and prosecuted under Portuguese censorship laws in 1972, during the last years of the Estado Novo dictatorship. The book and their trial inspired protests in Portugal and attracted international attention from European and American women's liberation groups in the years leading up to the Carnation Revolution.
