Born in 1922, in Azinhaga, Golegã, Portugal.
He was the author of plays, short stories, poetry, chronicles.
developed a unique style, so he assumed true complicity with the reader as narrator. Besides the most remarkable: the peculiar way to punctuate your sentences. Rare to find endpoints when the use of commas is much more constant.
