Tales from the Mountain Miguel Torga, translated by Ivana Carlsen An extraordinary collection of powerful stories, Tales From The Mountain introduces Portugal's premiere writer to the American literary scene. Twice nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature, Miguel Torga has been widely translated but is relatively unknown in the United States. “Torga excels at revealing the 'weft of motives underlying the world' of his characters; his straightforward style frequently gives way to [verse] a tribute as much to his power as a writer as to Carlsen's as a translator.” — Publisher's Weekly “This work by the celebrated Portuguese writer Miguel Torga was long suppressed by the Salazar regime. Apparently the appearance of this great European writer in the US has also been suppressed, until the appearance of this translation by a tiny West Coast publishing house.” — Choice Available from Baker & Taylor, Ingram, Partners/West Published by QED Press ISBN 0-936609-23-0 · Paperback · 160 Pages · 5.5 X 8.5
