He flits from history to legend, from tales of love to tales of gore, from Catholic orthodoxy to hedonistic manifestations of liberation, very Latin in spirit, in order to define the identity of this tiny island. What emerges is a memorable account of the essentially Portuguese connection of the state and the history of some of its important monuments and feast days. Lavish colour pictures and centrespreads by Amit Pasricha buttress the uniqueness and vivacity of the state's culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eMARIO CABRAL E SA, \u003c\/b\u003e a graduate of the Portuguese \u003ci\u003elycee,\u003c\/i\u003e is a well known journalist and prolific writer whose articles on a variety of topics have been published in reputed newspapers and magazines in India and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e As an expert on Goa's history and culture, he had researched the scripts and been the cultural advisor for a number of Goa-related feature and documentary films produced by national and international units.
