Frequently asked questions

Short answers, using verified facts only.

Where can I buy the books?

All the books are on sale. Of the 200 editions in the catalog, 186 are available as e-books and 170 in print.

The editions the author publishes on Amazon are sold on Amazon; the editions from the publishers Chiado Books and 24BookPrint are sold in those publishers’ own stores. Some editions are also on sale at Fnac França, Fnac Portugal, Google Livros, Google Play Livros, and Kobo.

Each book has its own page on this site, with its editions by language and the stores where each one is on sale. The site does not show prices, because they change in the stores.

In which languages are they published?

In 12 languages. The catalog comprises 90 works in 200 editions:

  • Portuguese: 92 editions
  • English: 48 editions
  • French: 16 editions
  • German: 13 editions
  • Spanish: 11 editions
  • Italian: 6 editions
  • Arabic: 3 editions
  • Traditional Chinese: 3 editions
  • Hindi: 3 editions
  • Ukrainian: 3 editions
  • Japanese: 1 edition
  • Finnish: 1 edition

Why do the Amazon links for Portugal lead to Amazon Spain?

Because there is no Portuguese Amazon store: readers in Portugal buy from Amazon Spain (amazon.es), which can be browsed in Portuguese. The purchase links for Portuguese readers therefore point to amazon.es.

How are the books written? Does the author use artificial intelligence?

Yes, and he says so publicly in his Declaration of Methodological Framework and Compositional Transparency (Sintra, May 2026). In the author’s words (original Portuguese):

«Cumprindo os deveres de transparência que devem orientar a produção de conhecimento na era digital, declara-se que recorri, nas fases de estruturação e revisão, a assistentes computacionais baseados em modelos de linguagem de grande escala (LLMs).»
«Importa, contudo, clarificar de forma categórica: estes livros são integralmente escritos por mim. A redação final e a essência do texto são da minha total e exclusiva autoria.»

Original text in Portuguese.

The declaration lists the delegated tasks — screening technical literature, checking consistency across chapters, correcting typos and formatting — and can be read in full.

What is “A Obra Comentada”?

It is a 393-page document about the author’s work (Sintra, 2026) that brings together his personal presentation, the Manifesto of the Multiple Author, and a critical reading of each work, written in the third person. The texts this site quotes with that label come from it.

Where should I start reading?

The “Start here” page suggests paths by interest — literature and poetry, geopolitics and defense, artificial intelligence — and helps you find a book in a specific language.
