Considering that the Alto Douro Wine Region, an evolving and living cultural landscape of universal value, has been an inspiring source for representatives of the arts and literature, revealing the interrelation between culture and nature, we revisit, on the border between literature and history, this region in its space-time, object of invention and creative originality. Given the relevance of literature as a depository of socio-cultural memories of the «historical being», the works of Raul Brandão and Manuel Mendes analyse the representations of the Douro physical and human landscape (20th century), a traditional image of emerging modernity. The corpus of documentary, literary and dialogical analysis includes emblematic works of Douro literary heritage: Portugal Pequenino, by Maria Angelina Brandão and Raul Brandão, and Douro, Roteiro Sentimental, by Manuel Mendes. These historical testimonies and literary evocations are configured as a «watermark» of the Douro World Heritage, guarantee of the identity and authenticity of the physical and human landscape, whose traces of «common good», preserve and transmit to the «children of others»
