The author was distinguished for the novel O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty, published in 2021.
The authorTeolinda Gersão won the 28th edition of the dst Grand Prize in Literature with the book O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty, the organization announced this Tuesday.
According to a statement by the company based in Braga, this year's edition focused on prose books published between 2021 and 2022 and had close to 200 candidates, a record for this prize of 15 thousand euros.
The jury was chaired by the author Lídia Jorge and also included Carlos Mendes de Sousa and Cândido Oliveira Martins, having the decision been unanimous.
"This is a book of undeniable formal maturity, associated with an unusual creative glow", justified the jury, in the same statement, about the book published by Porto Editora in 2021 and which creates "musings out loud by three cultural figures of the first half of the 20th century, Freud, Thomas Mann and his mother, Julia Mann".
The synopsis describes the work as follows: "The return of Júlia Mann to Paraty are three novels that intertwine in a surprising way. Through a profound knowledge of the life and work of historical characters, and respecting the veracity of the facts, the author unveils the inner world of all of them, vividly and credibly fictionalized, in a fascinating narrative that grips the reader from the first to the last page."
"The result of a sophisticated constructive expertise, these lines allow listening to the dialog between two personalities that shaped depth psychology and the literary art associated with them, to which is added the testimony of a woman's life that takes place between several worlds: Júlia Mann, born in Brazil, taken to Germany and returned to her country of origin. This triptych is also a painting of a historic time in Europe and the social climate of an era that continues to dialog with the fundamental myths of our time", added the jury, in the minutes.
The dstGrand Prize in Literaturehad as finalists, in addition to Teolinda Gersão, O Segundo Coração, by Bruno Vieira Amaral, Ferry, by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, Melancholia, by Francisco José Viegas, Um Cão no Meio do Caminho, by Isabela Figueiredo, Around the World in Twenty and a Half Days, by Julieta Monginho, and O Senhor d'Além, by Teresa Veiga.
The prize will be handed over on the 30th of June, at Theatro Circo, in Braga, at a ceremony that will include a concert by Os Poetas, a project by Rodrigo Leão and Gabriel Gomes.
According to the organization's announcement, the Minister of Economy, António Costa Silva, will also be present, "because the economy needs to talk about culture to be competitive".
At 83 years old, Teolinda Gersão published O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty in 2021, along with the re-edition of A Mulher que prendeu a Chuva, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of her literary career as a fiction writer, marked by the publication of the novel O Silêncio, in 1981, followed by Paisagem com Mulher ao Fundo, in 1982.
Teolinda Gersão has received more than a dozen literary awards, some of which she won twice, such as the Camilo Castelo Branco Short Story Grand Prize, from the Portuguese AuthorsAssociation, which was awarded to her in 2002, for Histórias de Ver e Andar and, in 2017, forPrantos, Amores e Outros Desvarios.
She was also twice distinguished with the Fernando Namora Prize, awarded by Estoril-Sol: in 2001, for OsTeclados, and in 2015, for Passagens.
