There appears to have been a co-edition or co-issue, Neuchâtel: Éditions de la Baconnière, 1967. The author replies to the question as to why he wrote these poems in French on the inside flap of the front cover.Mário Dionísio [de Assis Monteiro (Lisbon, 1916-Lisbon, 1993)], poet, essayist, author of fiction, and painter, was one of the most important theorizers of the neo-realist movement in Portugal during the 1940s, collaborating in newspapers and reviews such as Presença, Altitude, Mundo literário, Diário de Lisboa, Revista de Portugal, Seara Nova, and Vértice. He was the recipient of at least four important literary prizes: Grande Prémio de Ensaio (1963); Prémio das Páginas Culturais da Imprensa Regional (1964); Prémio da Crítica da Associação Portuguesa de Críticos Literários (1981); and Prémio Antena 1 (1989). As a painter, since 1941, using the pseudonyms Leandro Gil and José Alfredo Chaves, he participated in diverse collective exhibitions, such as the Exposições Gerais de Artes Plásticas of 1947, 48, 49, 50, 51 and 53, of which he was one of the main organizers. The first individual exhibition of his paintings took place in 1989.Provenance: Maria Judite de Carvalho [Tavares Rodrigues, Lisbon, 1921-Lisbon,1998], also a multi-prize-winning author, met Urbano Tavares Rodrigues in 1944. They married in 1949. After spending time in Montpellier and Paris, she returned to Portugal, where she worked as secretary for the feminist magazine Eva. Carvalho published her first short story there in 1949, and beginning, in 1953, her "Crónicas de Paris". She rose to the rank of editor, then editor-in-chief, continuing to contribute to the magazine until its demise in 1974. In 1968 she became an editor for Diário de Lisboa, where she worked until her retirement in 1986, while publishing "crónicas" in its pages. She also published crónicas in O Jornal that were collected under the title Este tempo in 1991, and won the Prémio da Crónica A.P.E. See Álvaro Manuel Machado, Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, pp. 106-7; Paulo Morão in Biblos, I, 1020-2; and Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, V, 124-7.Urbano Tavares Rodrigues (Lisbon, 1923-Lisbon 2013) grew up in Moura, in the Alentejo, in a family of large landowners, and eventually became a militant communist. He was a widely acclaimed and prolific author of fiction, researcher, essayist, literary critic, professor Catedrático jubilado at the Faculdade de Letras, Universidade de Lisboa, member of the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, and recipient of many literary prizes. His earliest works were greatly influenced by existentialism, in particular following the literary model of Albert Camus. Simultaneously they display a certain Portuguese turn-of-the-century decadence, particularly influenced by Fialho de Almeida (especially obsessive evocations of the Alentejo), António Patrício and Manuel Teixeira Gomes, all of whom were discussed by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues in critical essays and later in his doctoral thesis.
