Eduardo de Sousa

Born in 1909 in Saligão, Goa, Eduardo de Sousa was an Indo-Portuguese writer and educator. He studied at the Liceu Afonso de Albuquerque and later at the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Goa, where he trained in pharmacy, but he ultimately devoted his career to teaching.

He spent much of his professional life in education, including service at the Liceu de Goa from 1958 until his retirement. Unlike many contemporaries, he appears to have remained closely rooted in Goa, and that local experience shaped the perspective of his writing.

His known works include Cartas sem Destino (1948), O Juiz Patusco (1961), Nas Margens do Mandovi: Retalhos da Minha Vida (1977), and Contos que o Vento Levou (1985). Across these books, he wrote about memory, everyday life, and the cultural world of Goa with a reflective, often personal tone. He died in 2004.
