- Summary:
- The first edition of Marion Kaplans The Portuguese: The Land and its People was acclaimed by Portuguese readers, visitors to the country, and those eager to discover the rich history and dynamic present of a superficially familiar but still little-known nation of Europe. Now revised, with a fully updated travel advisory section, this lively portrait of Portugal is once more available. Marion Kaplans empathy for Portugal combines with her journalistic skills to create a fascinating close-up of a great nation transforming itself into a modern European state. Her insights into the intricacies of family life and customs, the institutions of church and state, the social mix of rural communities and vibrant cities, make this an unrivalled introduction to Portugal and its people.
