abstract

The article aims to explore the dialogue existing between Levantado do Chão, first published in 1980 by the Nobel Prize José Saramago soon after the Carnation Revolution (1974), and Cemitério de Pianos, written in 2006 by José Luís Peixoto. While Saramago’s multi-generational novel conveys a hope for historical progress at the beginning of the democratic era in Portugal, eternity and repetition dominate in the family vicissitudes of Peixoto’s work as a symptom for the new hypermodern sensibility at the culmination of the transition to the new millennium.
