Tales from the mountain

Miguel Torga (pseudonym of Adolfo Correia da Rocha) was a poet and diarist whose forceful and highly individual literary style and treatment of universal themes make him one of the most important writers in 20th-century Portuguese literature… He wrote poetry, short stories, a genre in which he is accounted a master, theater and a 16 volume diary, written from 1932 to 1993.
