“The Unknown Islands – Notes and Landscapes, [are] without a shadow of a doubt one of the masterpieces of travel literature in the Portuguese language, easily rivaling the best classics. In fact, even today it is impossible to understand the modern Azores without following in the footsteps and understanding the writer’s views on that journey from June to August 1924, to a world of magic and mystery. Nature, people, traditions and history are connected, and what results is a panorama that naturally attracts us, in an identification in which we become participants in an extraordinary laboratory where the Azorean people are singular in their qualities, through a melting pot based on a rich symbiosis between nature and society.”
