Praça da Fruta - 1st Edition

Description

Author Carlos Querido Publisher Corrida de Letras Literary Genre Historical Synopsis Praça da Fruta is the title of Carlos Marques Querido’s book. This judge, originally from Salir de Matos, has collaborated with this weekly newspaper for over ten years, creating regular columns recounting stories from his region and from the courts. Carlos Manuel Marques Querido, aged 52, boasts a career spanning more than two decades across various courts, leaving behind a reputation for exceptional efficiency in every one—resolving cases that had been pending for many years. Nevertheless, he finds time to step away from judicial jargon and write freely about stories he has witnessed, invented, or uncovered through historical research he conducts. Within months, he promises to return with a new project related to local history. Praça da Fruta is the most emblematic monument of the city of Caldas da Rainha, owing to its vitality, dynamism, and daily renewal. Based on this concept, this book features multiple narrators belonging to the same family. The first narrator recounts his anguish over the church’s demolition; the second is his son; the third is his grandson. The contemporary narrator revives memories of his relatives and tells stories he himself experienced. What unites them all—in their own distinct ways—is their love for Praça da Fruta.
