Life
Mario de Carvalho was born in Lisbon, Portugal. He was involved in the resistance against Salazar’s dictatorship (a member of the Portuguese Communist Party), and had an adventurous youth. During his military service he was jailed and tortured (sleep deprived for 11 days), and eventually escaped to Sweden, fleeing the country on foot. After the democratic revolution in 1974 he returned to Portugal and practiced law for many years.
His first book of short stories, published in 1981, marked the beginning of a successful writing career. He has published numerous novels, story collections and plays and has been widely translated. His style is simultaneously versatile and crafted, and his fictions are set in various times and places. A God Strolling in the Cool of the Evening («Um Deus Passeando Pela Brisa da Tarde») won the 1996 Pegasus Prize for Literature and has been translated into English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Greek and Bulgarian. The novel, a historical timeless tale on human nature, received excellent reviews, and is considered a classic in the genre.
