NEW BEDFORD – Francisco Cota Fagundes, a professor emeritus of Spanish and Portuguese Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will be offering in a virtual presentation a glimpse into the challenges he encountered while translating Vitorino Nemésio’s novel “Mau Tempo no Canal,” considered by literary critics as one of the greatest Portuguese novels of the 20th century. Hosted by the New Bedford Whaling Museum, “Stormy Isles: An Azorean Tale. Translating Literary Heterolingualism and Coastal Whaling” will take place Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.  Originally published in 1944, the novel provides a vivid portrait of the Azores in the early twentieth century, revolving around the story of Margarida, a member of the elite who foregoes some of the entitlements of her class and struggles with the morals of the bourgeois society in which her life unfolds.
