About meClaudia Dias is a native of Lisbon (pronounced Leesh-boa).

She maintains a weblog O Mundo de Claudia, focused on Arts and Culture, where she can explore her love for books, for knowledge, for the curious and the startling.

She also loves to write about the peculiarities of Portuguese culture - of the inexpressible Saudade, of Lusitanian fatalism, of the intrinsic beauty of a culture of contradictions, of the unique sense of both Landscape and Time, what the Portuguse writer Miguel Esteves Cardoso referred to as "..numa obra que se vai construindo sob uma arquitectura de demolicao."

She loves to read and to travel and the ideal vacation would be an agile combination of both. Add to this recipe - the glow of a warm sun, the delights of simple food and complex wine, the antics of an interesting companion - and the result is bliss.

About my libraryMostly in storage while figuring out where to settle.

Desculpe a ousadia do contacto mas não resiti. Li no seu blog que tinha nascido na Frei Tomé de Jesus. Pois eu, que sou mais velho, também nasci e vivi muitos anos na Rua António Ferreira (no prédio que faz esquina com a Frei Tomé de Jesus, andei na escola 23, em frente a minha casa e muitos amigos tinha na Frei Tomé de Jesus. Com dois deles, com quem andei na primária, ainda janto todos os meses. Adolescente, a Frei Tomé de Jeus era o meu caminho diário para os cafés no Vává, Suprema ou Sul-América. Como se diz: "Lisboa é uma aldeia"!Bom 2011.

Thank you! That was as pretty cool as uttering "Open Sesame."

Hello. How does one enter the Invisible Library? I have been searching for it for 1,333 years and this door is the only lead I have found so far.

Having taken a stroll through your library, and a gander at your blog (I've added it to my google reader subscriptions) I took the plunge and designated your library: interesting.

Sorry. E funciona às mil maravilhas. Já o incluí no meu leitor "GreatNews".
Obrigado.

Olá Claudia,
Acompanho com regularidade o seu blog de que muito gosto.Permita-me uma sugestão: não é possível incluir nele um RSS Feed de modo a que seja possível ligá-lo a um leitor de feeds?
As maiores felicidades para o seu trabalho.

We noticed that you were a Jorge Luis Borges fan, and we wanted to let you know that we've just published a brand new translation of his story, "Gradus Ad Parnassum," in our anthology, 'flatmanCROOKED – First Winter.' "Gradus Ad Parnassum" is not currently in print in English, so we're rather excited to publish what is to many Borges fans brand new work. The book also includes debut fiction from National Book Award winner Ha Jin, as well as stories from myriad other established and emerging authors. Check the book out at www.flatmancrooked.com/fmcmarket.html. If you get it through our website, it's significantly cheaper than through Amazon or Barnes & Noble!

Hello Claudia,
I am not sure how this works, or what the "etiquette" is ? (I've just discovered LibraryThing...), but I would love to be able to join the "Invisible Library" group.
I've had a long time interest in imaginary worlds and imaginary books.
If there are any conditions or requirements, I will do my best..(and more...)
best regards
Eyqam

Claudia, I'm sure there is plenty going on on the other side of the pond ... for me "tenho saudades de Massachussetts"!

Just back from a wonderful choral concert. The choir has been training at Regaleira all week. Regarding Manini see:

Luigi Manini : Imaginário e Método (check this title in my library, it is the catalogue of an exhibition that I helped organise - it is all about Regaleira).

Oops! You don't have permission to view this photo.....

Well I've checked over my shelves ... and you are right. Spontaneous Latins, I suppose? Curiously the Italians seem to follow the stiff-upper-lip-right-head-tip.

Claudia - have enjoyed your blog in the past - good to see you on LibraryThing. Loved the Dodo and Philospher's Hall. Sorry about my countrymen's tabloids!

sui propri libri.Fatevi avanti!!

Attendo Vostre risposte.
