Portuguese by Marion Kaplan
First published in 1991, this guide to Portugese history and culture is filled with additional chapters, offering a comprehensive overview for the historian, traveller and general reader alike.
'Sympathetic, perceptive, lively and full of information' - Times Literary Supplement. 'Anyone thinking of offering Portugal as a subject for Mastermind should certainly start here. I learned a lot from the book, and imagine that most readers, Portuguese and foreign alike, would do so too... What comes through very clearly is the author's infectious enthusiasm for her subject and her lively, good-humoured and inquisitive mind.' Cultura.
