THE BOJADOR IN THE MIST OF ARTS
Abstract
The study made regarding the works Mar Portugus, present in the poem collection Mensagem, originally published in 1934, by Fernando Pessoa and Os Lusadas, published in 1572 by Luis de Cames, will have as its main objectives: observe the intertextual relations that can be established between both texts, as well as making an interpretative analysis on the diverse possibilities of reading Fernando Pessoass production. To help the development of the present paper an option was made to search for theoretical assistance (even though it is not manifested explicitly in the body of the present paper) in Erich Auerbach with his work Mimesis (1994) and Northrop Frye with Anatomia da Crtica (1980), not being possible to overlook and not bpay a tribute to Aristotle and his Arte retrica e arte potica (1984). This type of reference, of a more classical nature, cannot be put aside when there is an intention to approach works such as Mensagem and Os Lusadas, that can be classified as members of the Classical Literature pantheon.
