«O Fogo e as Cinzas» is the short story collection by Manuel da Fonseca, published by Editorial Caminho in 1993 in paperback (178 pages).
Stories set in rural Alentejo that portray the clash between a disappearing world and the arrival of progress, embodied in the railway. The work is considered one of the most significant titles in modern Portuguese short fiction, with poverty and nostalgia as its backdrop.
The work was originally published in 1951; this edition carries the subtitle «obra completa» and belongs to the collection «Clássicos Portugueses» (14th edition).
Recommended for readers interested in 20th-century Portuguese narrative and in realist short fiction with a rural setting.
