Luís Cardoso

Luís Cardoso de Noronha was born on 8 December 1958 in Cailaco, in what was then Portuguese Timor. A pupil of the mission schools, he left for Lisbon in 1974 thanks to a scholarship. Having remained in Portugal when Indonesia invaded his country, he was an activist in the National Council of Maubere Resistance, while working as a journalist, teacher and storyteller. This first book, which became his most translated and most studied work, was followed by several novels.
