Abstracts

EN

The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries can be seen as a literary period in which stimulation and renovation of the short story genre occurred. Aquilino Ribeiro, a famous Portuguese writer who published his first collection of short stories Jardim das tormentas in 1913, could be mentioned in this connection. This article focuses on one of the stories from this collection (“Os Senhores de Montalvo”), analysing the popular (traditional) imagination, as well as the modes of rewriting of original texts (Iberian medieval romances, legends and chivalric tradition). A brief comment on the film Silvestre (1981) by João César Monteiro, inspired by the same tradition, is included.
