Uma família ingleza: Scenas da vida do Porto

Set against the bustling waterways and stone façades of 19th‑century Porto, the story follows the charismatic English merchant Richard Whitestone as he navigates the delicate balance between commerce and community. Known for his sharp business acumen and steadfast reputation, Whitestone becomes a regular fixture in the city’s mercantile quarter, where greetings, handshake rituals and the clink of glasses mark his daily interactions. Through his eyes we glimpse the rhythm of the port’s markets, the gossip of the expatriate enclave, and the subtle tensions that arise when foreign ambition meets local tradition.

The narrative unfolds as a series of vivid vignettes that capture both the grandeur of Whitestone’s ventures and the quieter moments of his personal reflections. He remains unfazed by accolades and the occasional toast of Madeira or cognac, preferring reasoned calm over flamboyant celebration. These scenes paint a portrait of a man whose steady presence leaves an indelible mark on the city’s commercial heart, offering listeners a richly textured portrait of a bygone era.
