This is the first of a two-volume selection of short fiction from Portugal, drawing on late-19th and 20th-century novellas and stories. The text concentrates on writing from before World War II. Included are: Eca de Queiros's The Idiosyncrasies of a Young Blonde Woman; Antonio Patricio's Suze; Fernando Pessoa's The Anarchist Banker; Irene Lisboa's The Lover; and Jose Rodrigues Migueis's Leah.

Portuguese writers excel in the novela and conto, short forms that lend themselves to satire, social comment and the lyric impulse.

The Anarchist Banker, which starts in the nineteenth century, and the second volume, Professor Pfigizz and His Strange Companion, present English readers for the first time with a generous sampling of the best classic and new Portuguese writing. This is a European literature only now receiving the attention and acclaim it merits. From Eça de Queirós to Fernando Pessoa and Irene Lisboa, this anthology of stories in fine new translations will extend readers' maps of modern European literature and open windows on the fascinating Portuguese world.

EUGENIO LISBOA, poet, essayist and critic, has written standard works on José Régio and Jorge de Sena and studies of Portuguese modernism. Until recently he was Cultural Counsellor at the Portuguese Embassy in London.
