Book of the month:&nbsp;Saving the Fire&nbsp;by Itamar Vieira Junior&nbsp;

About the Book:&nbsp;The highly anticipated new novel from the author of the Booker-shortlisted international sensation&nbsp;Crooked Plow.

Moisés lives with his father and sister in a Brazilian village dominated by the local monastery. His mother having died mysteriously, Moisés is raised by his sister Luzia, a young woman rumored to be a witch and despised by the villagers. Luzia seeks protection from the monastery, where she gets a job as a laundress and where Moisés receives an education.In time, something triggers her brother to rebel and run away from home. Luzia finds herself wholly alone, fighting for the family's land and for her life. Unknown to her, Moisés, too, has put himself on the front line of an ancient conflict between colonial oppressors and the dispossessed.

Epic and lyrical, with the power to enchant as well as outrage,&nbsp;Saving the Firepresents the ghosts of a family's past lost amid the shadows of a nation's history. Masterfully, Itamar Vieira Junior blends the intimate journeys of his characters with faithfully rendered elements of Brazilian life in a world where the scars of colonialism still ache.

Open Mic Poetry 

Situada no Gradil, em Mafra, a Quinta de Sant’Ana é uma propriedade histórica que remonta a 1633, onde a vinha, a natureza e a vida em família fazem parte da mesma história. 

Foi aqui que Ann e James Frost encontraram o lugar para desenvolver um projeto que cruza diferentes culturas com uma profunda ligação à terra.Influenciadas pela proximidade do Atlântico e pelo clima da região de Lisboa, as vinhas dão origem a vinhos que combinam frescura, equilíbrio e personalidade. 

A Quinta trabalha com castas portuguesas e internacionais, procurando expressar a identidade do lugar através de uma abordagem atenta à vinha e pouco intervencionista na adega.

Mais do que uma quinta produtora de vinhos, Sant’Ana é um projeto em constante evolução, onde tradição, experimentação e hospitalidade convivem naturalmente. Uma oportunidade para conhecer diferentes expressões de um território próximo de Lisboa, mas com uma identidade muito própria.

Louise Ellet will be your host for the evening. She is a Wine Sales Manager and has worked in the estate for years. If Lou was a wine, she would be our pink bubbly Espumante! Other than her deep wine knowledge she brings with her a breeze of a Hampshire summer, freckles and all! She is sassy, strong and multitalented professional with a pernicious sense of humour, we much enjoy. She recycles. She is a deep thinker. She loves wine of course, the music of Tash Sultana and has the most contagious laughter. She reads like the wine notes of our Espumante: bright acidity, fine bubbles, raspberries, rose petals, meringue, hay. Dangerously moreish…

Atenção: existem 2 horários disponíveis, às 18h00 e às 19h30, que pode escolher no momento da compra do bilhete!

As vagas são limitadas, por isso reserve já o seu lugar! O bilhete inclui uma prova guiada e snacks. Vinhos adicionais estarão disponíveis para compra a copo ou à garrafa.

Kids Storytime

We invite you to hear three leading Shakespeare scholars on translating and teaching his work to new readers!&nbsp;

What does it mean to translate and teach Shakespeare more than four centuries after his plays were written?&nbsp;

Taking a recent Portuguese translation of Hamlet as a starting point, this conversation explores the challenges, choices, and creative possibilities involved in bringing Shakespeare's language to new readers, students, and audiences. From the intricacies of wordplay and poetic rhythm to the psychological complexity of his characters, we will consider the delicate balance between fidelity and reinvention, as well as the challenges of making Shakespeare accessible and engaging in the classroom without sacrificing the richness and complexity of his work.&nbsp;

Ultimately, we will reflect on why Shakespeare continues to invite new translations, and new approaches to teaching, and why his works remain as compelling today as ever.

Daniel Ramalho&nbsp;holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Philosophy from NOVA University Lisbon. His research has focused on the philosophy of mind and epistemology, particularly at the intersection of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence. A translator for over twenty years and a teacher by vocation, he has specialised in teaching English as a foreign language and English literature. He currently serves as the director of an international school.

Maria Sequeira Mendes&nbsp;is currently an assistant professor at the University of Lisbon. She is working on her fourth book, on Shakespeare's fawners and knee-benders, parasites and sycophants.

Miguel Ramalhete Gomes&nbsp;is Professor at the University of Lisbon. He has written&nbsp;Texts Waiting for&nbsp;History: William Shakespeare Re-Imagined by Heiner Müller(Rodopi, 2014), and has published on Shakespeare, presentism, and on utopian and dystopian comics. He is currently working on a book about the uses of Shakespeare during the years of austerity in Portugal.

Translating and Teaching Shakespeare: The Art of Interpretation

Book of the Month:&nbsp;American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

About the Book: One of the most controversial and talked-about novels of all time. Bret Easton Ellis’s&nbsp;American Psycho&nbsp;is a multi-million-copy bestseller hailed as a modern classic – a violent and outrageous black comedy about the darkest side of human nature. With an introduction by Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting.

I like to dissect girls. Did you know I’m utterly insane?Patrick Bateman has it all: good looks, youth, charm, a job on Wall Street, and reservations at every new restaurant in town. He is also a psychopath.

A man addicted to his superficial, perfect life, he pulls us into a dark underworld where the American Dream becomes a nightmare.

Contemporary Book Club 

Join award-winning filmmaker Lesia Diak for an interactive, hands-on workshop exploring the forces that shape characters from within!

Designed for filmmakers, screenwriters, directors, film students, and emerging creatives, this workshop offers practical tools for discovering the hidden layers of your characters and opening new directions for your film project.

Through writing exercises, group discussions, and feedback from Lesia, participants will explore their characters’ psychological complexity, inner contradictions, and urgent dilemmas. Together, we will test characters against impossible choices, personal loss, and forces beyond their control, in search of richer, more cinematic possibilities for your stories.

Bring your fiction or documentary project at any stage of development. Leave with deeper insight into your characters, fresh perspectives, and new cinematic directions for your work.

Lesia Diak is a Ukrainian film director and producer whose films have earned recognition at international festivals. Her work explores human connection, inner conflict, and trauma through intimate, thought-provoking narratives. With a background in communication, she went on to complete the DocNomads International Documentary Film Directing Master’s Program in 2022, and later founded DramaFree, a production company dedicated to author-driven films.

In 2024, Lesia premiered her debut feature-length documentary,&nbsp;Dad’s Lullaby, a Ukrainian-Romanian-Croatian co-production, at the Sarajevo Film Festival. As both director and lead producer, she balanced creative vision with production leadership to bring this deeply personal film to life.&nbsp;Dad’s Lullaby&nbsp;received several awards, including an Honorable Mention at DocLisboa 2024. Lesia currently divides her time between Lisbon and Kyiv, collaborating with co-producers from Portugal, France, Poland, the UK, and beyond. Her short fiction film&nbsp;Shattered Ice&nbsp;is in development, and her experimental documentary&nbsp;My Days Are Being Chopped&nbsp;is in post-production. By working across genres, she continues to refine her artistic voice and expand her creative practice.

Space is limited. Your ticket includes hands-on guidance from your host, Lesia Diak, during the workshop, and one drink from the bar on the day of the event.

Film Character Development Workshop

Join us at Good Company Bookstore for an evening with Nur, reading from her poetry collection "October".

In conversation with Anika Seidlitz, Nur will discuss her work, and the questions and possibilities that poetry opens up.

The evening will include readings, discussion, and an invitation for audience members to share their own poems.

Copies of&nbsp;October&nbsp;will be available at the bookshop.

Nur Turkmani&nbsp;is a writer and researcher from Beirut, now based in Lisbon. Her poetry and fiction have appeared in&nbsp;Poetry,&nbsp;The Stinging Fly,&nbsp;The Iowa Review,&nbsp;New England Review, and elsewhere. Her debut poetry collection,&nbsp;October&nbsp;(Hajar Press, 2026), was shortlisted for the 2026 Jerwood Prize for Best First Collection at the Forward Prizes for Poetry and the 2026 PEN Heaney Prize. She is also a recipient of the Anthony Veasna So Scholarship for fiction from&nbsp;The Adroit Journal.

October in Lebanon is heavy with memory. The euphoria of the 2019 revolution feels far away, its anniversaries marked by crisis, war and the genocide in Gaza. Across multiple Octobers, Nur Turkmani meditates on rupture, transformation and the quiet undoing and remaking of relationships during collective catastrophe. Part archive, part love letter, her debut poetry collection holds the ordinary and the extraordinary in the same breath, spanning balconies and border towns, fig trees and songs for friends, autumn light and the instinct to flee. Formally spare and emotionally saturated,&nbsp;October&nbsp;refuses both numbness and spectacle. These poems ask what it means to survive the world and still long for it; and how we hold what’s disappearing, or changing too quickly to make sense of.

Anika Seidlitz&nbsp;holds a background in education sciences and anti-Eurocentric politics. Having studied in Berlin, Anika focuses on dismantling systemic barriers in education and hosts a podcast dedicated to uncovering the institutional impediments faced by marginalized groups within the German education system.

The event is free to attend, but we ask that you register a free ticket so we know how many people to expect.

Poetry Night: "October" with Nur Turkmani and Anika Seidlitz

Junta-te a nós para uma manhã de domingo criativa e divertida com a nossa oficina de arte!

A nossa oficina surge como uma extensão das sessões de leitura que acontecem aos sábados na Good Company Books. O objetivo é dar corpo ao mundo interior de cada participante, seja a partir das histórias ouvidas no dia anterior ou da necessidade de transpor as suas próprias fantasias para formas, cores e texturas.&nbsp;

Nesta oficina, vamos mergulhar no universo das aguarelas e descobrir como trabalhar com o seu princípio ativo: a água. A partir de técnicas básicas, os participantes vão explorar de forma lúdica as transparências, as misturas de cores e as possibilidades expressivas desta técnica de pintura.

O evento tem um custo de 7 euros (+taxa). Pedimos que faças a reserva com antecedência para podermos preparar materiais suficientes para todos os pequenos artistas. Por favor, seleciona quantos adultos irão acompanhar. Se não puderes comparecer, pedimos que canceles o teu bilhete para que outros possam participar.&nbsp;

Cada sessão é única e oferece um roteiro estruturado, desenhado para guiar cada criança na exploração dos contornos da sua imaginação. Vamos descobrir diferentes temas, técnicas e suportes em cada encontro. Aqui, desmistificamos a ideia do não ter jeito ou não consigo e celebramos a experimentação como parte essencial do processo.&nbsp;

Nada de especial, traz apenas a tua curiosidade! Nós fornecemos todos os materiais necessários para materializar ideias em criações físicas.&nbsp;

Esta oficina é para todas as crianças que queiram expandir os seus horizontes criativos através da arte. Para que se sintam seguras e integradas, os pais e cuidadores são bem-vindos a acompanhar as sessões.&nbsp;

O projeto está aberto a sugestões! A nossa anfitriã, Margarida, estará atenta aos gostos e propostas de cada criança, de forma a ir moldando a sua oferta aos nossos pequenos artistas.&nbsp;

Oficina de arte para crianças "Aguarelas!"

Join us at Good Company Books for an intimate evening of live music, where storytelling and melody come together in a cosy bookshop setting!

"A lifelong solicitant of old wisdoms,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ahana.music/">Ahana</a>&nbsp;is enchanted by things unknowable. If the world leans toward conclusion, she seeks a counterweight, digging her heels deep into a love of mystery, knowing well the exhaustion of always pursuing an answer.

Born in the UK, with roots in Portugal and Punjab, Ahana’s work draws from a confluence of cultural, musical, and poetic traditions. Her debut album,&nbsp;<a href="https://li.sten.to/ahana_soma">Soma</a>, offers a first glimpse into this dialogue.

Recorded across Portugal and the UK in collaboration with producer Diogo Sarabando (aka himalion), the project attempts to un-tell a stagnant story, dismantling a long-held dismissal of the body and the material world. At its heart, it wonders: could the soma be the soul?

She doesn’t claim to know. But if Ahana is certain of anything, it is the soft might of a tender body, of a form fully felt; that the suppler heart is more porous to change; and that change is one of the very great magics"

Our shows often sell out so we strongly suggest purchasing tickets online beforehand. However, if we are not sold out, tickets will also be available at the door. Chairs are first come, first serve but we also have plenty of standing and floor seating space available.

By Metro:&nbsp;We're situated a 5-minute walk from the Campo Pequeno metro (Yellow line) and a 10-minute walk from the Alameda metro (Green &amp; Red lines).

Book of the month:&nbsp;The Obscene Madame D&nbsp;by Hilda Hilst&nbsp;

About the Book:&nbsp;The Obscene Madame D&nbsp;is the electrifying masterpiece by one of modern Brazilian literature's most significant and controversial writers.

At sixty years old, Hillé decides to abandon conventional life and devote the rest of her days to contemplation in a recess under the stairs. There, she is haunted by her perplexed, recently deceased lover, Ehud, who cannot understand her rejection of common sense, sex and a simple life in favour of vain metaphysical speculations.

In a stream-of-consciousness monologue, Hillé speaks of her search for spiritual fulfilment from a space of dereliction. In thrilling prose that is part Joyce, part Lispector and part de Sade, Hilda Hilst takes us into the disorder and beauty of a mind restlessly testing its own limits.
