Douro Editions "Through reading, we become absent from ourselves and our own lives." Alphonse Karr
"The Alentejo has no shadow," sing the peasants of Portugal's driest region. It is on this land of endless summers that fathers were born. And sons seek them out. The son is the narrator. To find the path to his father, he must go there. This book is one of modesty and silence. Land Without Shadow is a novel of memory and transmission, where nature and humanity end up merging in an endless landscape.
