Alves Redol and the Douro

Between 1945 and 1969, Alves Redol exchanged correspondence with Francisco Tavares Teles, a merchant from Pinhão, who followed the writer during the preparation of his novels and who became one of his great friends.

Gaspar Martins Pereira was responsible for the organisation of this book, with the collaboration of António Mota Redol, son of Alves Redol, and António Tavares Teles, eldest son of Francisco Tavares Teles, who were essential for the annotation of the letters.
