Baroque impressions in an Agustina Bessa-Luís narrative

Abstract

Severo Sarduy, the writer, in the last pages of his Baroque book will expatiate on certain expressions of the Baroque that are still possible in the contemporary. One way, according Sarduy, would be the subversion, for instance, by a logic of waste and abundance, used at a time when the economy seems to prevail vocabulary. Before we believe that analysis of the romance book have certain resistances or baroque waste, we will elucidate the perspective of being taken from some views on the contemporary world. In the book "The Round of the Night", by Agustina Bessa-Luís, we can see a narrative in which there is a critical examination of the experience of the values and ideals through development that, through its own procedures in writing or by choice of the book with the same title as the painting of the Dutch painter Rembrandt, there is a constant questioning of the human condition of our time.
