Retalhos Lusitanos 《葡风剪影》
By Martim Castro de Noronha
“Retalhos Lusitanos” emerges in Simplified Chinese as《葡风剪影》, a lyrical voyage through Portugal’s soul that resonates across continents. In this edition, Castro de Noronha’s verses open Portugal’s most intimate landscapes to new readers, weaving together the rhythm of ancient cobblestones, the sweep of Atlantic winds, and the warmth of everyday traditions. From Minho’s emerald valleys to Alentejo’s golden plains, the poems traverse both geography and memory, capturing a Portugal beyond postcards grandmothers teaching their grandchildren at the kitchen table, fishermen blessing their nets, and conversations drifting into cobbled streets at dusk. Each verse becomes both a map and a story, preserving the pulse of a civilization through poetry. Supported by the European Union’s Creative Europe Programme under the Trans-European Journeys initiative, this translation is more than words across languages: it is cultural transmission, a bridge inviting readers worldwide to partake in Portugal’s ongoing story. Discover Portugal not merely as a destination, but as a way of being in verse, in vision, and in the eternal dance between tradition and tomorrow.
