A Causa das Coisas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Causa das Coisas is a Portuguese book written by Miguel Esteves Cardoso, published in 1986. The book is a selection of chronicles that he published when he was a colaborator of the weekly paper Expresso. The book is divided in two parts: the causes (Causas) and the things (Coisas).

There are almost one hundred chapters that correspond to each one of the chronicles. They are treated alphabetically and the themes vary, from abstract concepts like love to a simple umbrella.

The second part comprises some comments about the illustrations of the unbelievable objects, old national symbols like mineral water Água Castello, the tabaco Português Suave, the animal soap Gá-Ti-Cão, and many other stuff.
