Colliding in History

Abstract

Maria Velho da Costa’s literary work offers us a vision, brought together by the figurations of the characters and the complex webs elaborated between them, of a historical path that dispenses any form of tranquility or peace. The restlessness that inhabits it isn’t only subjectively personal – reflecting, as well, the various surprises that History weaves in the lives of the characters, that is, in the lives of all humans.
