Resumo: | O esplendor de Portugal (1997), work of the ficcionist António Lobo Antunes, portrays the members of the same family from different angles. The mother, Isilda, lives in Angola. The three children, whose childhood was lived in Africa, live in Portugal now. The oldest brother, Carlos, decides to promote a meeting among siblings during Christmas in 1995. When analyzed under the trio’s perspective, the novel’s plot happens on December 24, presenting sometimes Carlos’ expectation of the possible arrival of his siblings, sometimes the considerations of Rui and Clarisse about the invitation – which, at the end, they ignored. Considering specially the character of Carlos, we intend in this present work, to observe how surprise, expectation and disappointment take place around the Christmas supper – and how its non-occurrence seals the definitive disintegration of the family unit. |

A mãe, Isilda, mora em Angola. Os três filhos, cuja infância foi vivida em África, residem agora em Portugal. O mais velho dos irmãos, Carlos, decide promover uma reunião entre irmãos no Natal de 1995. Toda a trama do romance, quando visto sob a perspectiva do trio, passa-se no dia 24 de dezembro, mostrando ora a expectativa de Carlos com a possível chegada dos irmãos, ora as considerações de Rui e Clarisse acerca do convite – o qual, por fim, ignoram. Neste trabalho, pretendemos, considerando em especial a personagem Carlos, observar como surpresa, expectativa e frustração se sucedem em torno da ideia de ceia natalina – e como a sua não realização sacramenta o definitivo esfacelamento do núcleo familiar.ABEC Brasil2014-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo avaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/2963410.22409/abriluff.v6i12.29634ABRIL – NEPA / UFF; Vol. 6 No. 12 (2014): Food: lack of, measure, left-overs; 129-140Abril – NEPA / UFF; v. 6 n. 12 (2014): Comida: falta, medida, sobra; 129-1401984-209010.22409/abriluff.v6i12reponame:Abril (Niterói)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/article/view/29634/17175Copyright (c) 2018 Abril – NEPA / UFFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAndrade, Mariana Neto Silva2019-08-09T09:26:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29634Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabrilPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/revistaabril/oairevistaabril@vm.uff.br||nepa@vm.uff.br||uffnepa@gmail.com||idafalves@gmail.com1984-20901984-2090opendoar:2019-08-09T09:26:23Abril (Niterói) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
