The Portuguese

Written in English, The Portuguese is a living portrait of Portugal and the Portuguese, designed for readers who want to better understand the country's identity, its cultural traits and the weight of history in contemporary life.

Barry Hatton crosses historical analysis with episodes, personal observations and social references to explain what makes Portugal a unique case in Europe – from maritime expansion to the present, passing through the customs, contradictions and permanences of a people so often discreet and fascinating.

The author, a British journalist based in Portugal for decades and an international correspondent, writes with proximity, knowledge of the field and great communication skills, which makes the book especially appealing to foreign readers, students, travelers and Portuguese interested in seeing the country through an informed external eye.

Accessible, intelligent and context-filled reading, this edition is ideal for those looking for a book about Portugal in English with historical and cultural value. A highly recommended title to offer, study or simply discover Portugal from another perspective.
