Sobre este artículo
Lisbon, Edições Momento, 1937.. FIRST EDITION. 8°, original illustrated wrappers (light spotting and some chipping; head of spine somewhat defective). Uncut. Light browning. In good condition. Author's signed and dated (10 May 1937) eight-line presentation inscription to Cristiano Lima on recto of front free endleaf [p. 1]. 169 pp., (3 ll.). *** FIRST EDITION. The title story only appeared in anthologies in 1969 and 1972; a second edition was printed in 2002. The subtitle on the front cover reads "Contos Africanos". The printed dedication, on p. [3], reads "Á minha mãe que ficou em São Tomè Depois que abalei, á negra de alma meiga, resignada e dolorosa, de olhar suave como uma benção, que me amparou os primeiros passos e me formou o carácter". The journalist Viana de Almeida was born in São Tomé in 1903, and lived in Lisbon from early childhood. He was a great-grandson of the first Barão de Água-Izé. He founded and directed the newpapers A mocidade africana (1931), Humanidade (1935), and co-edited the Africa Magazine (Lisbon 1932). A reporter for O século, he also contributed to the Diário de Lisboa, Notícias, and Brado africano. According to the Cape Verdean writer Manuel Lopes, these stories were actually written by António Aurélio Gonçalves based on notes furnished by Viana de Almeida. *** Moser & Ferreira, New Bibliography of the Lusophone Literatures of Africa 3105.
