data-key=\"articleBody\">Portuguese writer L\u00eddia Jorge has won the 2026 Austrian State Prize for European Literature. The announcement was made on Tuesday in a\u00a0statement published on the official website of the country\u2019s Ministry of Culture (source in Portuguese).The prize, first awarded in 1965, goes to the complete literary work of a European author whose writing has achieved significant international recognition and is available in German, through translations, the same press release explains.In its justification for the choice, the jury said: \u201cL\u00eddia Jorge has for many years been one of the most important voices in Portuguese literature\u201d, with a body of work in which \u201ccritique of European colonialism\u201d is presented as a \u201ccentral theme\u201d, alongside \u201csocial inequality and poverty, discrimination against women, racism and the 1974 Carnation Revolution.\u201dThe panellists \u2013 Cristina Beretta, Thomas Keul, Thomas Macho, Marlene Streeruwitz and Andrea Zederbauer \u2013 also added that in \u201calmost fifty years of her career as a writer\u201d the author \u201chas not only written 13 novels, but also numerous children\u2019s books, short stories, plays, poems and essays\u201d. Over the decades, these works have been \u201ctranslated into Spanish, French, English and German.\u201dAmong L\u00eddia Jorge\u2019s works available in German, highlights include O Dia dos Prod\u00edgios (1979), A Costa dos Murm\u00farios (1988) and Miseric\u00f3rdia (2022), among others.\u201cL\u00eddia Jorge is one of the most distinguished writers in contemporary European literature; her work is as multi-faceted and diverse as her themes are meaningful and omnipresent,\u201d says Austria\u2019s vice-chancellor and minister for Arts and Culture, Andreas Babler, quoted in the same statement.The minister also points out that over \u201cmany decades\u201d the Portuguese author \u201chas used her highly poetic writing to defend human equality and the value of life\u201d, stressing that he has \u201cthe deepest admiration for the author\u201d, to whom he also sends a message of congratulations.The award, worth \u20ac25,000, and subsequent ceremony is scheduled for 27 July and will be conducted by the Austrian vice-chancellor, as part of the Salzburg Festival programme.Born in 1946 in Boliqueime, in the Algarve municipality of Loul\u00e9, L\u00eddia Jorge studied French literature in Lisbon and lived for several years in Angola and Mozambique during the Colonial War. In addition to literature, she devoted part of her life to teaching, particularly in secondary and higher education.Throughout her career, she has received a number of honours, including the Grande Pr\u00e9mio de Romance e Novela of the Portuguese Writers\u2019 Association in 2003, for O\u00a0Vento Assobiando nas Gruas\u00a0(2002), as well as the 2020 FIL Prize for Literature in Romance Languages and the\u00a0Pessoa Prize 2025.She was also decorated, by the former President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, with the Grand Cross of the Order of Saint James of the Sword, in February this year.
