Sintra: a Glorious EdenMalcolm Jack![]()
Categories: Portuguese
Imprint: Aspects of Portugal Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Hardback (220 pages) (Pub. Nov 2002) 9781857545876 £35.00 £31.50
Sintra is a unique and fantastic place. It is a place to be visited and explored, time and time again, both on account of its magnificent, natural scenery - an alpine setting in the South of Portugal - and its rich history entwined with that of the Portuguese Royal family. Sintra: A Glorious Eden evokes the spirit of this magical place, a cool sanctuary for the monarchy from the overwhelming heat of the city of Lisbon. The reader is introduced to the historical and literary background to what has become a symbol of Portuguese romanticism at home and abroad.
