Overview"The publication is available in five languages: English, Portuguese, French, German and Russian. Delve into the mystical heart of the Azores with ""The Legend of the Moura Encantada: Whispers of the Enchanted Isles."" This evocative tale, steeped in the rich tapestry of Azorean folklore, unravels the enigmatic story of the Moura Encantada-an enchanted Moorish woman bound by ancient spells to the secrets of the islands. According to legend, the Moura Encantada is a beautiful and sorrowful figure, often seen guarding the hidden treasures and secret places of the Azores. Her story is one of love, betrayal, and magic, woven during the times when Moors ruled the Iberian Peninsula and remnants of their culture seeped into the local lore of the islands. Bound to the land, she appears at noon or dusk, combing her long hair with a golden comb and awaiting liberation from her enchantment. This book invites you on a journey through mist-laden landscapes and past volcanic springs where the Moura Encantada's whispers still echo. Each page paints a vivid picture of her haunts: from the lush, hidden valleys where she is said to protect ancient treasures, to the crumbling ruins where her presence is marked by an aura of both beauty and melancholy. Enhanced with atmospheric illustrations that capture the hauntingly beautiful scenery of the Azores, this book not only recounts a legendary folklore figure but also celebrates the cultural fusion and historical heritage that give the Moura Encantada her timeless appeal. ""The Legend of the Moura Encantada"" is more than just a story; it's a portal to the Azorean soul, offering a glimpse into the islands' magical realism where the lines between the earth and ethereal blur. This tale is sure to captivate folklorists, historians, and anyone enthralled by the allure of ancient legends and the mystical world they encapsulate. Experience the magic of the Azores through the eyes of its most enchanting guardian."
