Extract from the preface by Duarte Mendonça: (...)Horácio Bento de Gouveia (1901-1983), a native of Ponta Delgada, a village of the northern side of the Portuguese island of Madeira, is the most prominent Madeiran writer of the 20th century. During his lifetime he published several major works such as "Ilhéus" (1949), "Lágrimas Correndo Mundo" (1959), "Águas Mansas" (1963), "Canhenhos da Ilha" (1966), "Alma Negra e Outras Almas" (1972), "Torna-Viagem" (1979), "Margareta" (1980) and "Luísa Marta" (1982), published posthumously in 1986. Gouveia's literary world revolves around the Madeiran reality of his time, both in his native Ponta Delgada or in Funchal, the island's capital, and in his novels one can find the portrayal of several topics such as the long exploitation of the peasants by the land owners, the dark side of embroidery industry and emigration. A peculiar feature of his characters is the way in which they speak, for the author presents their dialogues in an almost phonetic transcription, thus contributing to the preservation of several expressions of the Madeiran unique dialect.Emigration is a common word in Madeira's history throughout the centuries. Due to the limited size and resources of the island, the continuous increase of its population, the oppressive land exploitation system, poverty, the lack of job opportunities, several economic crises, among other causes, the islanders always sought a better life abroad. Since mid 19th century Madeirans are known to have immigrated to several destinations such as Trinidad, Demerara, Sandwich Islands (nowadays known as Hawaii), Brazil, United States, Curaçao, South Africa, Venezuela, among other destinations. Around the mid 1900's Venezuela was the favorite emigration destination for thousands of Madeirans, who saw it as their Promised Land, a country where they could make all their dreams come true and therefore a better living for themselves and a brighter future for their children.(...)

(...)And an extract by the introduction: (...) Professor Francis M. Rogers (1914-1989) mentioned Horácio Bento de Gouveia in his book Atlantic Islanders of The Azores and Madeiras (1979). As the grandson of immigrants from the Azores, it was his heritage that made him study and lecture on Portuguese language and literature in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures of Harvard University.In chapter 21 - High Culture (pp. 391-397), Horácio Bento de Gouveia is referred to as one of the most valuable writers of the 20th century: "A Madeiran example is the novelist Horácio Bento de Gouveia (born 1902) who in 1976 had the satisfaction of knowing that one of his novels, "Águas Mansas", of 1963, had appeared in a German translation as "Stille Wasser von Madeira"..."The following is an extract from Professor Rogers' work, including his own translation of extracts from the works of Horácio Bento de Gouveia: "... in 1966, the Junta General of Funchal itself published Bento de Gouveia's collection of short prose pieces entitled "Canhenhos da Ilha" (Memories of the Island), with its poignant description of the island, (...)

Regular commercial contacts between Europe and Asia date back to at least the early years of the Christian era, but the pattern of trade underwent a structural modification following the Portuguese discovery of a route to the East Indies via the Cape of Good Hope. This volume illustrates the consequences of the arrival of large numbers of Europeans in the East. Europeans both participated in, modified and exploited existing trade relationships in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. The studies reprinted here show how some environments, such as Japan, were hostile, whilst most states welcomed the European commercial contact. The necessity for Europeans to pay for Asian goods using precious metals is emphasised by the inclusion of articles in monetary transfers in Asian trade, a phenomenon which provides a link between economic developments in the Americas and those in Asia from the 16th century onwards.

African, Lusophone, and Afro-Hispanic Cultural Dialogue is a collection of essays of broad historical and geographic scope that advances analytical perspectives regarding a highly transcultural and changing African continent enmeshed in the vestiges of slavery and colonialism and the complex dynamics of post-colonialism. Mostly grounded in literary studies, the essays discuss the interconnections between Africa and its Lusophone and Afro-Hispanic diaspora. Particular focus is given to how they relate to the politics of identity and assimilation, migration and displacement, the concept of “nation”, Eurocentrism and racial essentialisms, as well as Black aesthetics.

Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.
