Luís Infante de Lacerda Sttau Monteiro (April 3, 1926 – July 23, 1993) was a Portuguese writer, novelist and playwright, a man to whom "the only sacred thing was to be free as the wind". ==Biographical overview== Monteiro was born and died in Lisbon, Portugal. When he was ten years old he went to London, accompanying his father, who was, at the time, the Portuguese ambassador in England. Later, he returned to Portugal in 1943, after his father's removal from his position by Salazar. He then graduates in Law from Lisbon University and works as a lawyer for a short period of time. Subsequently, he returns to London and becomes a Formula 2 driver. After a while, and back in Portugal, he works in the magazine "Almanaque" and the "A Mosca" supplement of the Diário de Lisboa. In 1968, he was arrested by PIDE (Portuguese Politic Police) after publishing the plays "A Guerra Santa" and "A Estátua", satires that criticized the Portuguese dictatorship and the colonial war. In the 1970s, he worked as a journalist with Portuguese newspapers such as ''Diário de Notícias'' and ''Expresso''. A day after his death, Mário Santos wrote in the newspaper ''Público'': "Playwright, publicist, chronicler, fisherman, gourmet, sailor and frustrated race car driver, Luís de Sttau Monteiro was, above all, a bon vivant. He died yesterday (23.07.1993) in Lisbon, at 67, maintaining a very unflattering vision of Portugal." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luís de Sttau Monteiro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
