8°, original printed wrappers. As new. 91 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION.The multifaceted Cunhal (1913-2005), a towering intellectual and Communist Party militant from the early 1930s, served several shorter prison terms for activities in opposition to the Estado Novo prior to being arrested in 1949. He then remained in prison until making a spectacular escape from the Peniche prison in 1960. Secretary-General of the Portuguese Communist Party from 1961 to 1992, he was Minister without Portfolio in several post-1974 provisional governments. Under his leadership, the Portuguese Communist Party was perhaps the most pro-Soviet of all western European communist parties, supporting the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968, and organizing demonstrations in favor of the imposition of marshal law in Poland in 1981.Urbano Tavares Rodrigues (Lisbon, 1923-Lisbon 2013) grew up in Moura, in the Alentejo, in a family of large landowners, and eventually became a militant communist. He is a widely acclaimed and prolific author of fiction, researcher, essayist, literary critic, professor Catedrático jubilado at the Faculdade de Letras, Universidade de Lisboa, member of the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, and recipient of many literary prizes. His earliest works were greatly influenced by existentialism, in particular following the literary model of Albert Camus. Simultaneously they display a certain Portuguese turn-of-the-century decadence, particularly influenced by Fialho de Almeida (especially obsessive evocations of the Alentejo), António Patrício and Manuel Teixeira Gomes, all of whom were discussed by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues in critical essays and later in his doctoral thesis.***.

Fernandes de Vila Real [or Villa Real], a merchant born in Lisbon, served as Consul of Portugal in Paris under D. João IV, and in that capacity helped the king gain acceptance and consolidate his government. When he returned to Portugal in April 1649, however, he was denounced before the Inquisition for having brought books listed on the Index into the country, and also for having written a work whose content was suspect. In 1652 he was handed over to the secular authorities in an auto-da-fé at the Terreiro do Paço, garroted and burnt. He was a friend of Antonio Enriquez Gomez, is listed in Kayserling, and almost certainly was Jewish. *** See Barbosa Machado, III, 264; Innocêncio V, 422; Kayserling, Biblioteca española-portugueza-judaica, p. 131.
