SLICES OF PORTUGUESE HISTORY, with Dulce Maria Cardoso

A INDIE é uma livraria independente, no coração da Cidadela de Cascais. Somos obcecados por livros autografados e por novidades em inglês. Passamos horas a vasculhar livrarias no estrangeiro, catálogos e editoras para garantir que temos em stock os títulos que acabaram de sair em Londres ou Nova Iorque.Mas o que mais nos dá gozo é tropeçar naqueles livros que ninguém sabe que existem, para depois ver a cara de surpresa dos clientes quando os descobrem nas nossas estantes.Apesar de pequena, a INDIE é um espaço cheio de personalidade (e sentido de humor) que dá vontade de explorar. E como gostamos de agitar as coisas, começámos a organizar eventos, fechar parcerias e criar encontros que estão a ser tudo menos banais.

An Indie Talk with Dulce Maria Cardoso

SLICES OF PORTUGUESE HISTORY Coming home to a country you’d never lived in An Indie Talk with Dulce Maria Cardoso October 27th, 6.30pm - Cidadela de CascaisIn 1975, as Angola moved towards independence and civil war broke out, thousands of Portuguese families had to flee in a hurry. They left with a suitcase in hand and everything else behind, bound for a “motherland” many had never seen. They were called retornados.Dulce Maria Cardoso was one of them. In O Retorno (The Return), she tells that story through Rui, a teenage boy starting over in a country that didn’t quite know what to do with him. The book was Book of the Year in Portugal, and its English translation won the PEN Translates Award.Not a lecture. A conversation about leaving, arriving and making a new place feel like home, which might sound familiar.€15 · fully redeemable if you buy one of her books. Includes a glass of wine served by our wonderful neighbours at Garrafeira Nacional.
