CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá). CÉU em Fogo: Novelas. Lisboa. 1953. - CARNEIRO (Mário de Sá) CÉU em Fogo: Novelas . Lisboa: Edições Ática, 1953. 354, [2] pp.; 195 mm. (Obras Completas de Mário de Sá Carneiro, 4) Volume IV of the ”Complete Works of Mário de Sá-Carneiro, ” published by Editorial Ática from 1945 onwards. *Céu em Fogo* (Heaven on Fire), published posthumously in 1915, brings together eight novellas – *A Grande Sombra* (The Great Shadow) , *Mistério * (Mystery), *O Homem dos Sonhos* (The Man of Dreams ), *Asas * (Wings), *Eu-Próprio o Outro* (Myself the Other) , *A Estranha Morte do Prof. Antena* (The Strange Death of Professor Antena) , *O Fixador de Instantes* (The Fixer of Moments ), and * Ressurreição * (Resurrection) – which, along with *A Confissão de Lúcio* (The Confession of Lúcio ), constitute the central core of the author's prose (1890-1916). At the time of its original publication, the book provoked a scandalous atmosphere that divided critics, due to its raw exploration of themes of boredom in the face of the banality of daily life, the escape into the fantastic and the bizarre, and the obsession with death and suicide as the only possible exits for characters who are, to a large extent, projections of the author himself.
