CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá). A CONFISSÃO de Lúcio: Narrativa. Lisboa. 1961. - CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá) A CONFISSÃO de Lúcio: Narrativa . Lisboa: Edições Ática, 1961. [4], 158, [2] pp.; 200 mm. Published by Editorial Ática as part of the Complete Works collection, with an editorial note signed by Luís Montalvor. *The Confession of Lúcio* is, along with *Heaven on Fire* , the major work of prose by Mário de Sá-Carneiro (1890-1916), and one of the most singular narratives of Portuguese modernism. Presented in the form of a detective story in the style of Edgar Allan Poe, it tells the story of Lúcio who, after ten years in prison for a crime he claims he is innocent of – the murder of his friend and poet Ricardo de Loureiro – recounts the truth about the complex and ambiguous love affair between the two and Marta, in a register where reality and dreams progressively merge. The work develops the author's central obsessions: suicide, the splitting of identity, and the boundary between reason and madness. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
