Art/Literary - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / In The Preface To A Novel
Portuguese term or phrase: extralusitano
Context:

Se comparo o Amor de Perdição, cuja 5.a edição me parece um éxito fenomenal e extralusitano, com O Crime do Padre Amaro e O Primo Basílio, confesso, voluntariamente resignado, que para o esplendor destes dois livros foi preciso que a arte se ataviasse dos primores lavrados no transcurso de dezesseis anos.

Obrigada,

Barbara
