From an early stage, gastronomy gradually became an identity marker of societies, establishing itself as an important contribution to their history.

Jaime Correia do Inso (1880–1967), naval officer and writer, proved himself a passionate devotee of Macau and China, to which he dedicated an important part of his literary activity. This is not to overlook the fact that he also produced significant historical studies on the Portuguese navy and, occasionally, on certain subjects concerning Timor, Africa, and Brazil, scattered across various magazines and newspapers.

This article results from documentary research, encompassing both the literary work itself and articles about that work and its author, as well as elements obtained through dialogue with António Correia, a Portuguese poet and prose writer with a presence in Portugal, Angola, Macau, and Brazil. The aim is to strip this narrative of subjectivism, maintaining an independent critical judgment, with a view to contributing to a deeper knowledge and greater dissemination of António Correia's short stories, novels, and poetry.

This reflection allows us to conclude that António Correia recorded, in the form of short tales, scenes of Macao society in which he sometimes participates as author-narrator, and this work may be considered a dated radiograph of Macao society with autobiographical notes, insofar as, while exposing social nuances, he also frequently places himself as an intervening character in the unfolding of events and, not infrequently, offers his own opinion and particular interpretation of the events and behaviors of the characters.

This article begins with an analysis of Henrique de Senna Fernandes's work, *Cinema em Macau — Desde o Início do Século XX até à Década de 30*, and aims to identify the themes addressed and the style of writing. First published in the 1970s in the newspaper *Confluência*, it is his least-known work, with the title suggesting a study on cinema in Macau, an approach adopted by the author whose sources were Macau and Hong Kong newspapers. However, if cinema constitutes the core of the narrative, the author reveals himself to be passionate about people, recording the impact of cinema on society and on Macau as a collective entity, enriching the narrative with stories of the people of the Christian city and the Chinese bazaar. Moreover, the spatial coordinates are not confined to Macau, but rather extend to the interior of China and the city of Hong Kong. We conclude that the author did not deviate from the style and themes of his novels and short stories, as he continues to focus on the lived experiences of people in Macau, with cinema serving as a pretext to revisit the themes that permeate his entire oeuvre.

In the 16th century, the Pacific was marked by the appearance and action of the Portuguese, who came to intervene in the mercantile, cultural, and religious domains, competing with the Muslims who had previously monopolized that commercial traffic, religious proselytism, and cultural influence. The official voyages of the Portuguese in the Pacific began in 1508, with the sending of the first expedition to Malacca, with the Portuguese having traversed the maritime coasts of practically all the eastern territories bathed by that ocean. Some historical aspects of the Portuguese presence in Malacca and the adjacent island of Sumatra are brought to light. And also their presence in Timor and the Moluccas islands in search of exotic products, such as
