The theme of ‘Portugality’ dominates the narrative and typographic experimentation of his initial works. In his debut book, Os Três Seios de Nouvélia (1969, Almeida Garret Novelistic Award), wandering around Lisbon is a starting point to the extensive set of travels in the spaces of the world and writing which his work would come to materialize. In some recent works, displacement is also seen as the journey of literary creation, designed to incorporate the geographic and cultural spaces into the literary space. Upon his return to Portugal in 1997, he began a decade of intense literary activity, publishing several novels dealing with certain aspects of the exile narrative, emigration, colonization and the Portuguese diaspora. He studied Law at the University of Lisbon for four years before his exile in France. Manuel da Silva Ramos was born in 1947 in Covilhã (Refúgio), the town where he concluded his lyceum studies.
