Resumo
No romance As naus, António Lobo Antunes narra o ressurgimento das grandes figuras da
história portuguesa que retornam dos séculos XV e XVI para o século XX, após a revolução de
25 de Abril. Revolução esta que culminou na Independência dos países africanos, pondo fim à
colonização portuguesa naquele continente. Dessa forma, os personagens que foram
monumentalizados na história, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Luís de Camões, Diogo Cão, Vasco da
Gama e Francisco Xavier voltam não mais como as imagens daqueles personagens gloriosos e
corajosos que desbravaram os mares, mas como verdadeiros fracassados. Assumem, pois, um
caráter ameaçador ao presente, como se fossem fantasmas a perturbarem a memória. Assim,
este trabalho objetiva mostrar como esses personagens de monumentalizados passaram a
desmonumentalizados dentro do romance de António Lobo Antunes, adquirindo um caráter
fantasmagórico.
In the novel As Naus by António Lobo Antunes, he narrates the resurgence of the great figure of the Portuguese history, who returned from the 15th and 16th centuries to the 20th century, after the 25 April Revolution that culminated in the Independence of African countries, putting na end to portuguese colonization in that coutry. In this way, the characters that were monumentalized in history: Pedro Álvares Cabral, Luís de Camões, Diogo Cão, Vasco da Gama and Francisco Xavier, no longer return with the image of those glorious and corageous characters who braved the seas, but true failures. They assume, therefore, a threatening character to the presente, as if They were phantasms disturbing the memory. Thus, this work aims to show how these monumentalized characters became demonumentalized within the novel by António Lobo Antunes.
