The unpublished work by Antonio Tabucchi, titled "Letters to Captain Nemo", will be published in September in Portugal. According to reports, the manuscript was recovered from a drawer in the Italian writer's home.

The research that led to the recovery and reconstruction of the work was conducted by a researcher from the University of Liège, who worked on the text that Tabucchi never had the chance to publish during his lifetime.

The announcement of the manuscript's publication has generated interest among literature lovers and the academic community, who see the work as an opportunity to learn more about the output and style of one of the most respected writers in contemporary literature.

Additional details about the exact publication date and the contents of the work have not yet been revealed. However, there is hope that readers will gain a new perspective on Tabucchi's work.
