Abstract

The deepening of the subjective perspective in Fernando Namora’s work, from the publication of the novel O Homem Disfarçado (1957), corresponded to the needs of our historical context after the beginning of the cold war. This paper proposes the analysis of aspects of our modernity present in Fernando Namora’s Work from the Decade of 1950, such as the cooling of relations, the struggle for the maintenance of social status, the fragility of the social masks. The article also aims to observe ideals that run through the author’s literary trajectory, as the desire of belonging and the need of human coexistence. To do so, intends to raise the scenes of O Homem Disfarçado and other Fernando Namora’s narratives that cover these aspects.
