1. The Goldfinch
The author of The Goldfinch is Mi Torga. He is considered to be the best short story writer in Portugal today. His prose is poetic. Continuation, or rather, poetry is the continuation of prose. Prose seems more representative of his true style. His words are rich, concise and rhythmic. People can see from his works a Portuguese language that is neither poor nor elegant, neither secular nor literary.
The most famous of Tolga's works is his "Diary", which he began recording when he was thirty-four years old and has been published in more than ten volumes.

When writing a poem or a novel, you should first consider whether it will have an impact on readers. If literature cannot bring about good changes in the masses, then the world will not need writers.

Looking up, there was no movement of the bird; it swept its wings and flew to the threshing floor, but the sky above the field was empty.
