- Summary:
- "The Unknown Islands is considered one of the most beautiful works of travel literature in Portuguese and one of the most important homages to the Azorean archipelago. In the summer of 1924, Raul Brandão undertook a trip through the Azores and Madeira. Fascinated with the landscapes of the islands and seduced by the people, he went on to pen this foundational text of Azorean literature-elegantly capturing the natural beauty of the landscape as well as the culture and the imaginary of this storied place"-- Provided by publisher.
