Pour l’anniversaire du festival, Alberto Manguel et Javier Cercas évoqueront vingt ans de littérature d’ici et d’ailleurs et, pour notre plus grand plaisir, feront de leur conversation tout un art.”

Poentes Olisiponenses – Lisboa vista pelo óculo de viandantes
“The other Ithaca” is the motto for the writer, essayist, editor and translator, Dr. Alberto Manguel, to talk about the way in which other writers have evaluated, over the centuries, the Portuguese capital and the Portuguese way of being.
“Olissipona after the decline of Roman civilization from the 2nd century AD Centuries later, an inscription found on Monte da Lua, in Sintra, stated that the Sibyl prophesied the expansion of the Portuguese in India. At the beginning of 1504, Américo Vespúcio left twenty and four Portuguese sailors in a fort in Cabo Frio, Brazil; one of them, according to Thomas More, was Raphael Hytholoday, whose name means “Purveyor of Nonsense” and who will be the first to tell the story of a land called Utopia. A grammatical error , a prophecy, an ideal society are some of the masks that the city of Lisbon wears to this day.”

Conversation: “Man Most Intimate: Alberto Manguel and João Reis”
2023-09-25 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Berlin)
Toronto International Festival of Authors
“The short novel can have the most intense impact on the reader as every word carries significant weight and meaning. Portuguese writer and translator João Reis discusses The Devastation of Silence (translated by Adrian Minckley) and the story of a Portuguese prisoner of war struggling to find meaning amongst hardship, and someone to hear his story. Internationally acclaimed anthologist, translator, essayist, novelist and editor Alberto Manguel is also an astonishingly prolific bestselling author. His 2023 output includes two novellas, A Return and The Overdiscriminating Lover, both of which explore the passions and possibilities, moments and memories that shape and drive a man’s life.”
Moderated by Martha Batiz.
Presented with support from Consulado Geral de Portugal em Toronto.
