O autorovi:
José Luís Peixoto sa narodil v roku 1974 v mestečku Galveias v portugalskom regióne Alentejo. Patrí medzi najvýznamnejších súčasných portugalských spisovateľov. Román Zomrel si mi (Morreste-me, 2000) bol jeho literárny debut. Jeho knihy zahŕňajúce poéziu, prózu i drámu boli preložené do vyše tridsiatich jazykov.
Je držiteľom viacerých literárnych ocenení ako Cena Josého Saramaga za román Nenhum Olhar (2000), Cena Daniela Fariu za zbierku básní Gaveta de Papéis (2008) či Cena Oceanos za román Galveias (2014). Za román Cintorín klavírov (Cemitério de Pianos, 2006) získal v roku 2007 Cenu Cálamo „Otra Mirada“, ktorá sa každoročne udeľuje za najlepší zahraničný román vydaný v Španielsku. V roku 2026 mu bola udelená cena Vergília Ferreiru za celoživotné dielo.
V slovenčine mu vo vydavateľstve Portugalského inštitútu vyšli romány Cintorín klavírov (2017) a Nedeľný obed (2024) a poviedka Mŕtvola Jamesa Joycea v antológii 9+1 (2022). V najnovšom románe A Montanha, ktorý vyšiel v roku 2025, sa venuje téme rakoviny a tematicky sa vracia k niektorým starším dielam vrátane debutového titulu Morreste-me.
Okrem rodného kraja čerpá inšpiráciu pre svoju tvorbu z ciest po svete. Píše cestopisné texty pre viaceré časopisy. Veľký úspech medzi kritikmi a čitateľmi zožali aj jeho cestopisné knihy Dentro do Segredo: Uma viagem pela Coreia do Norte (2012) a O Caminho Imperfeito (2017). Svoje cestovateľské projekty, medzi ktoré patrí aj písanie poézie na rôznych miestach pod názvom JLP in situ, publikuje na stránke joseluispeixotoemviagem.com.
Podujatie sa koná v spolupráci s Portugalským inštitútom a Inštitútom Camões.
