September 1st, Lobo Antunes is born, the writer of real myths

PT Jornal1 September 2026 at 00:01

Writer António Lobo Antunes was born in Lisbon on September 1st, 1942, a date used to pay tribute to his literary career. The article celebrates this date as a moment of recognition of Lobo Antunes' contribution to literature.

António Lobo Antunes is described as an author who hid a great writer behind the image of an anonymous doctor at Miguel Bombarda Hospital. This duality between medicine and literature marks his professional trajectory before dedicating himself entirely to writing.

His first three books, "Elephant's Memory," "The Judas Shoecounters" and "Knowledge of Hell," were immediately revealing of the author's literary talent. These inaugural works established Lobo Antunes as an important voice in Portuguese and international literature.
