In 'Rafael', Manuel Alegre immerses us in the harrowing experience of a political exile in 1964, relentlessly pursued by the Portuguese and Spanish secret services. This man is forced to constantly change his identity and appearance, living in a perpetual state of alert. As he flees, the constant pressure and the need to reinvent himself lead him to a profound identity crisis, becoming a clandestine version of himself, tormented by oblivion and the specter of dictatorship. An intense novel that explores the loss of identity and the sacrifice in the struggle for freedom.
Manuel Alegre de Melo Duarte is a Portuguese poet and politician. He was a candidate to the presidency of the Portuguese Republic in 2006 and 2011, finishing in second place in both elections. For his literary work, he was awarded the Camões Prize in 2017.
