ZAMBUJAL (Mário). CRÓNICA dos Bons Malandros. Lisboa. 1980. - ZAMBUJAL (Mário) CRÓNICA dos Bons Malandros . Da Palma da Mão à Ponta da Unha. Lisboa: Livraria Bertrand, 1980. 144, [2] pp.; 210 mm. First edition. Debut book by Mário Zambujal (Moura, 1936 - Lisbon, 2026), a journalist who contributed to publications such as A Bola , Diário de Lisboa and Diário de Notícias . The narrative follows a gang of petty crooks who plan to rob the Lalique collection on display at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, building throughout its pages an ironic and compassionate catalog of the human types that compose it. The book became an unexpected bestseller of post-April 25th Portuguese literature, with more than twenty editions by Bertrand and subsequent re-editions by Quetzal and Clube do Autor, winning over successive generations of readers. In 1984 it was adapted into a film by Fernando Lopes, and the work also had a theatrical version and a television adaptation. Rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
