Portugal, the `ancient ally`, is a country easily accessible, with an enviable climate, welcoming inhabitants & famous beaches. English & Spanish apart, Portuguese is more widely spoken than any other European tongue. This historical guide draws on personal experiences ranging from a residence of three years to regular visits since 1936. It combines introductory chapters on eight centuries of nationhood, & sections on the Roman & Islamic past, architecture, painting, music & birds, with visits to the great cities of Lisbon & Oporto, & to the country`s varied regions. The author`s aim is not merely to describe; rather to account for the emergence of what the visitor may expect to see. He avoids jargon, preferring clarity & moderation
- although permitting himself an occasional expression of saudade (the nostalgia for Portugal which haunts all who have loved this land). Harold Livermore studied in Portugal in 1937 & taught there, in Cambridge & in Canada. He was educational director of the Luso-Brazilian Council in London & is a member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences & of the Portuguese Academy of History. His first ` History of Portugal` was awarded the Cam Ses Prize & was followed by a ` New History` & a ` Shorter History`. He has also published a history of Spain & an account of the medieval origins of both countries. A selection of his articles, ` Essays on History & Literature`, appeared in 2000.
