Uma visita ao primeiro romancista portuguez em S. Miguel de Seide

A first-person travel essay recounts a rural visit to a celebrated novelist's estate, following a morning journey on foot and by mule through the Minho countryside. The narrator records landscapes, village sights, local people and animals, roadside anecdotes and contrasts between urban and rural life. Interwoven memories and reflections on an old friendship lead to intimate, observational vignettes, and a rustic lyric about an industrious ant prompts moral contemplation on work and humility. The piece combines evocative description with personal reflection to render regional customs and the quiet rhythms of everyday rural existence.
