Description
A novella by Alvaro Cunhal, Portugal's longtime Communist Party leader, first published in English. Written while imprisoned in the 1950s, Five Days, Five Nights is a story of an emigrant escaping the country, with no direct reference to politics. The manuscript was discovered in the archives of Forte de Peniche, where Cunhal had been held. Stylistically, this book echoes the hyperrealist sensibilities of 1940s and '50s noir writers and filmmakers. Its tone is characteristic of a bygone era, with a focus on the individual's struggle for freedom. The novella's themes are subtle yet powerful, inviting readers to infer the presence of politics in the background. Published posthumously as a tribute to Cunhal's self-sacrificing leadership, Five Days, Five Nights offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of Portugal's most influential figures.
