Billed
as a novel full of ferocious satire depicted with good
humor, reflecting current Angolan society. Félix Ventura is
a seller of false pasts. His clients are the prosperous
merchants, politicians, and generals who make up the
emerging Angolan middle class. What they lack in common is
a good past history. Félix invents deluxe genealogies,
happy memories, and even provides portraits of illustrious
ancestors. Into this good life one night in Luanda comes a
mysterious foreigner seeking an Angolan identity. José

1960), has resided in Luanda, Rio de Janeiro, and Lisbon,
where he was working as a journalist until fairly recently.

novels, a novella, and - in collaboration with his fellow
journalist Fernando Semedo and photographer Elza Rocha - a
work of investigative reporting on the African community of
Lisbon, Lisboa
Africana (1993), as well
as a biographical novel about Lidia do Carmo Ferreira, the
Angolan poet and historian who disappeared mysteriously in
Luanda in 1992. His novel Nação
crioula (1997), about a
secret love between the Portuguese adventurer Carlos
Fradique Mendes (whose correspondence was collected by Eça
de Queiroz), and Ana Olímpia de Caminha, born a slave, who
became one of the wealthiest and most powerful people in
Angola, was awarded the Grande Prémio Literário RTP. In

The
collection is edited by Maria Alzira Seixo. Third edition,
with a substantial introductory study, of the first
maritime novel in Portuguese, influenced by James Fenimore
Cooper and Eugène Sue, as acknowledged in the original
preface. The first edition appeared in Rio de Janeiro,
1846. A second edition appeared in Lisbon, 1854. The action
takes place off the coast of Africa, having begun in
Lisbon, continuing to the Rio de la Plata, and concluding
in Brazil. The author, a naval officer (Lisbon, 1821-1861),
distinguished himself with a series of novels (later
collected under the title Romances
marítimos), in which his
experiences on long ocean voyages was drawn on to good
effect. He also wrote a play, Rei ou
impostor?, which resulted
in considerable controversy and was banned, and was a
collaborator in Panorama,
not
only with texts of fiction and some conventional essays,
but with some extremely interesting and innovative essays
of comparative literature, such as that which appeared on
21 of May 1857: "Paralelo entre as literaturas alemã e
inglesa". His romantic realism is said to have anticipated
Cesário Verde and Fialho de Almeida.
