Lisboa Luz

Assouline's coffee-table book "Lisboa Luz" takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the vibrant Portuguese capital of Lisbon. In the book, readers discover unmissable hotspots and sights through Brazilian photographer Carlos Souza, known for his work for Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. 

The rattling sound of a streetcar, the smell of freshly baked pastel de nata, the sight of the sparkling waters of the Tagus River - welcome to Lisbon. Portugal's capital city with its labyrinthine streets, azulejo tiles and flowering jacarandas lures travelers with indescribable charm and quiet nostalgia. Fado is Lisboa's most iconic sound - traditional music that originated in the city's oldest neighborhoods and expresses deep emotion and heritage. From the grandeur of Belém to the bohemian spirit of Bairro Alto, Lisboa has the heart of a poet and the pulse of a port.

Creatives, dreamers and sunbathers from all over the world have gathered in this unique location, seduced by the abundance of seafood, the festive atmosphere and the legacy of craftsmanship. This book is a love letter to Lisboa, with original imagery by Carlos Souza and Charlene Shorto and a foreword by Miguel Guedes De Sousa. Assouline's travel book "Lisboa Luz" paints a portrait of a resilient metropolis that has weathered earthquakes and revolutions to become a sought-after destination for those looking for a good time.
