Abstract

Luanda was one of the most important capitals of the former colonies of the  ancient Portuguese empire in Africa since its founding in the sixteenth century and also the  center of the writing of its own country-Angola, becoming the Angolan literary city par  excellence. Throughout its history, many authors took Luanda as a privileged space of their  texts. Undoubtedly, the works of the José Luandino Vieira stand out, both for the quality of his  writing, either by his emotional adherence to Luanda, which is the scene of most of his short  stories and novels.
