The Last Hill

A collection of short stories bringing together new texts and others that were scattered. a significant space in this new collection of short stories by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues, alongside fully realistic texts, addressing major problems of our time and of all time.

In both, with the richness of imagination and the poetic halo of Urbano's language, a desire for intervention is noticeable, which, without diminishing the aesthetic quality of the work, gives it a pronounced social importance.

This book contains unforgettable scenes and landscapes of today's Lisbon, where misery grows amidst corruption and rampant speculation, just as it contains a vision of Beirut in ruins after the bombings. And unusual characters, plucked from life's mystery.
