Anmeldelser

«A slice of Lisbon to form a tantalizing tart of tales.»

Lonnie Weatherby, Library Journal

«Lisbon Tales is another excellent installment in this series of books, and they'd all make the perfect addition to the bookshelves of any armchair travellers you might know!»

Karen Langley, Shiny New Books

«There are many fine inclusions here, with excellent stories by authors who will be largely unknown in the English-speaking world ... The rendering of the stories in English is fluent, appealing, and ... faithful to the original, with helpful explanatory footnotes added when required ... There is much to enjoy in this collection.»

David Frier, Words Without Borders

«This panorama, proffered in elegant but natural English, is one of the main strengths of Lisbon Tales, leaving aside the intrinsic merits of the stories and crónicas themselves, and Hopkinson's translations are a welcome addition to the repertoire of Portuguese works available to English-speaking readers.»

Patricia Anne Odber de Baubeta, Translation and Literature
