About the book

"Cesar Guillen Nunez takes the reader on a leisurely stroll through the five parishes of peninsular Macao, accompanied by photographer Leong Ka Tai." "The author explores the vagaries of Macao's historic development over the past four centuries. The existence of two trading, but separate, peoples is reflected in the Chinese and Portuguese names of the city's streets. The names are not always direct translations of each other, but rather complement each other, bringing of life the merchants and public leaders, deities and saints, war heroes and literary figures, of both Portuguese and Chinese lore."--Jacket.
