Abstract

Mário de Sá-Carneiro became half-orphan at a very young age. He was only two years old when he lost his mother and during his childhood he barely had the chance to enjoy the company of his father, a military engi­neer with assignments all over the world. Under such circumstances, he was led to move to the Quinta da Vitória, home of his paternal grandpar­ents in Camarate, place to which Sá-Carneiro’s narrator refers in the short story “A Grande Sombra” (1914) while recalling in detail the time of his childhood. In Sá-Carneiro, the childhood is the time of the desired mys­tery, the time of free creation, the time of dreaming.
