Cão como o homem. O cão e a condição humana em Vergílio Ferreira

Abstract

Vergílio Ferreira’s fiction often encompasses dog’s humanization, either turning it into one of us or endowing it with a remarkable inclination for human intercourse that man himself appears to have lost. That’s why we have thought it compelling to look into a few canine exemplars, as they have been depicted in the author’s fiction: Mondego (Aparição), Matraca (Para Sempre), Médor (Alegria Breve) and Teseu (Signo Sinal).
