Mário-Henrique Leiria was an acclaimed writer, essayist, and painter who joined the Surrealist group in Portugal in the late 1940s. To avoid political persecution during Salazar dictatorship, Leiria moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where he lived for nine years. Back in Portugal in 1970, Leiria published two best-selling books: The Gin and Tonic Short Stories (1973), and New Stories of the Gin (1974). The 4 volumes of his complete works bring to light many sides of the author that were until now unknown to the public.
