Vergilio Ferreira began his literary journey in 1943, with O caminho fica longe [It’s a long road]. The year after he published another novel, Onde tudo foi morrendo [Where everything died], in the Novos Prosadores [New Prose Writers] collection (linked to with Portuguese neo-realism), and in 1946, also in this collection, the novel Vagao ‘J’ [Wagon ‘J’] was published. In 1974 the writer republished the last title; in the preface he informs the readers that, after many years of hesitation, this was the novel he had chosen to represent his so-called neo-realist phase, and he excluded the first two volumes of the work. Without intending to attribute Vagao ‘J’ an aesthetic and anthropological importance that the author himself does not acknowledge, there is however a technical-narrative mastery in this novel, put at the service of the neo-realism mindset, which cannot fail to be pointed out, as I shall seek to show in the reading that I present.

With this essay I intend to explore the influence of Ingmar Bergman’s cinema on the Portuguese novel from the sixties and seventies. It will be of interest to confront The Seventh Seal (1956), by Ingmar Bergman, a film that premiered in Lisbon in 1963, with two Portuguese novels that appeared some years later: A Noite e o Riso (1969), by Nuno Braganca, and Alegria Breve (1965), by Vergilio Ferreira, since all these texts (cinematic and literary) deal with a metaphysics of death. Both Portuguese writers use on their novels the chess-playing motif (the medieval knight plays chess with Death in Bergman’s film) and both protagonists, when faced with death, play chess with some other secondary character (Jaime plays chess with Padre Marques, in Alegria Breve; the narrator from A Noite e o Riso, after being transformed into just another character creating this way the necessary distance to write and tell the trauma of Zana’s death, plays with a teenager – Freitas – in a chess tournament). What follows is a comparative approach and a close reading of all these texts dealing with the chess-playing motif, a representation on a microcosmic level of the existential questions at stake.

The relation between love and violence is a difficult theme to restrain. It was the leading point of my research in what cornced my Master Thesis. In that thesis I investigated the way how Vergilio Ferreira kept a relation between love and violence in all his work. In the present paper I intend to present, brifely, the result of my research, trying to answer to the folowing question: how is the relation, the ways of contamination and inter conection between love and violence on Vergilio Ferreira’s work?
