Like a Portuguese version of As I Lay Dying, but more ambitious, António Lobo Antunes's eleventh novel chronicles the decadence not just of a family but of an entire society - a society morally and spiritually vitiated by four decades of totalitarian rule. In this his masterful novel, António Lobo Antunes, 'one of the most skillful psychological portraitists writing anywhe...more

The misery that was fascist and colonial Portugal. Not just the documented political and economic misery of the New State dictatorship but the social and emotional degradation which is impossible to establish on any metric. And not just the misery of the regime, but the misery of the revolution that overthrew it, including its aftermath.

Prvi put u sto godina mogu da se složim sa nekim blurbom: „Kada se Antuneš razmahne… stoji rame uz rame sa Vilijamom Foknerom ili Selinom.“ Jer to jesu prva dva pisca koja padaju na pamet tokom čitanja, prvih tridesetak strana malo-malo pa sam morala da zatresem glavom jer mi se sve ukazivao 'Avesalome, Avesalome'. Posle se utisak razišao :)

O ovome je baš teško pisati jer je nemoguće preneti utisak koji Antunešov stil ostavlja (tj. prevod Tamine Šop koji naprosto klizi, poslala bih joj cveće i bombonjeru). U svakom slučaju, ovo je niz od 19 poglavlja podeljenih na izveštaje i komentare: izveštaje pišu ili govore ili misle glavni junaci, dok komentare pišu ostali, kao nekakav korektiv istine koja je svakako vrlo problematična.

I’ve heard about The Inquisitors’ Manual from a number of my GR friends. They warned me that this wasn’t a book for the sensitive people. That is why I saved my read to September, the month when I usually feel harmonious and balanced, and the nature is melancholic but beautiful. Smart move, because it was a journey through a dark and unfavourable landscape.

This is my third book by António Lobo Antunes. My third book of human depredation and horror. My third book of alienation and lost love. Unloved children ... corruption ... blood ... rutting in place of love.
Lobo Antunes paints a disturbing view of the world - but he never seems to get beyond what is real. He is always within reach of the believable. No matter how far he goes in his infernal travels, the reader, at least this reader, cannot get off. Human existence is always the topic of discus...more

'O Manual dos Inquisidores' (1996) surpreendeu-me, agarrou-me desde o início e foi subindo em envolvimento até bem perto do final. Na forma, temos o virtuosismo imparável de ALA que não escreve histórias, modula mundos-história para os quais nos transporta. O tema é o Estado Novo, ou melhor, o povo português e a sua relação com a ditadura e seus principais atores, como via e sentia, como moldava os seus próprios seres e costumes na submissão àquela realidade política.

Ovo je jedno od onih pripovedanja u kojima ne smete da preskačete rečenice i pasuse, ne zato što ćete propustiti važne detalje i izgubiti se u daljoj priči, ne, priča je svakako jednostavna samo razbacana, već zato što je svaka rečenica tako bogata rečima, tako bogata opisima, tako bogata smislom, tako moćna i tako unikatna. Kakva ambicioznost, kakva megalomanska hrabrost da se ovako piše.

Kad sam završio Foknerovu Buku i bes, mislio sam da ove godine neću čitati romane toka svesti, ali na sreću to se nije desilo. Ova priča je takva da sam sebi u jednom trenutku rekao da je samo psihijatar mogao da je napiše, a Antuneš je to po zanimanju. Njegovi precizni opisi što duševnih stanja, što najstinijih, skoro neprimetnih pokreta tela, uvlače čitaoca u jednu gorku priču i u jednom trenutku sam imao osećaj da gledam neku seriju ili film.

One of the best books of António Lobo Antunes, who is also one of my favorite authors. The writing of this author is also very peculiar and original: long paragraphs current multiple pages, interspersed by the obsessions of the characters who return as leitmotifs punctuate the novel of their unfathomable anguish before a reality that overwhelms them. We didn't feel any sympathy for these characters: Antunes described in this novel the human condition on the side of reality, that of a selfish and...more

Que saudades eu tinha de Lobo Antunes. Voltar tanto tempo depois a ler este livro deu-me um prazer imenso. Foi como voltar aquele tempo em que descobri este enorme escritor, que tanto impacto teve em mim. Pena que eu vergonhosamente tenha perdido a capacidade de acompanhar os seus novos livros. Recomendo.
Recommended. I'd be curious to hear what other people think. It didn't quite hit home for me, but then sometimes I think I've lost the ability to read novels.
I'd like to say something more interesting than just calling it Faulknerian, but well... it really was a bit like Faulkner.
Incontinence and cuckoldry, the things a man can never live down.

My first contribution to goodreads... I picked the last novel I've read that really wowed me.
I'd heard about Antunes from a number of people; this is the first novel I've read. Stylistically brilliant, and clearly the work of a master empathist. Postmodern techniques that I've seen many authors wear like expensive suits are the ink in his pen. The theme is weighty -- tyranny, on a large and a small scale, so not an easy book to read.

Portugal durante o governo do Salazar...
Paranoia, power, and submission. Antunes conveyed those three human emotions through a multitude of characters, using Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution as a backdrop. Richard Zenith did an amazing job translating this from Portugese to English as the prose is superb. Some may be offput by the structure and grammer, but I felt it really contributed to the themes of the novel.

Tenho poucas referências no que respeita à ficção portuguesa centrada na sociedade portuguesa à época do Estado Novo (exceptuando a Balada da Praia dos Cães, de Cardoso Pires). Esta obra expande-se em volta dos testemunhos familiares e extra-familiares de um rico proprietário de Palmela e ministro de Salazar, com um esquema de ascensão (apogeu, mais estritamente) e queda.

Έπος με την κυριολεκτική έννοια. Λίγοι συγγραφείς έχουν το βάθος κατανόησης των ανθρώπινων όσο ο Αντούνες (ίσως το ότι είναι ψυχίατρος να έχει παίξει κάποιο ρόλο). Δύσκολα θα βρεις το πορτραίτο ενός ανθρώπου πιο σύνθετα δοσμένο απ' ό,τι σ' αυτήν την πολυπρισματική αφήγηση, όπου μια πληθώρα εντελώς ετερόκλιτων χαρακτήρων ανασυνθέτουν σταδιακά την ιστορία του 'κατηγορουμένου'.

This novel was a major disappointment from a novelist who a few years ago I was prepared to worship. Let me just say that all his novels from the 1980s are worth the effort, including his masterpiece, 'Fado Alexandrino.'
In an interview in the late 1990s, Lobo Antunes said that he was going to change his style, to block the barrage of metaphors that had made his early novels so amazing. Apparently, he used them because he felt insecure; now he was just going to trust, I don't know, content? The...more

Înainte de a citi orice carte a lui António Lobo Antunes, e bine să încercaţi să aflaţi câte ceva despre el. Şi, mai ales, despre stilul lui. Altfel, veţi fi luaţi prin surprindere, poate chiar şocaţi. Pentru că scrisul lui Antunes e oricum, numai convenţional nu. Am văzut că unii îl compară cu Faulkner sau cu Joyce. Ei bine, nu. Aş spune că Antunes a reinventat literatura. Într-o vreme în care mulţi spun că tot ce era de scris s-a scris, acest portughez (psihiatru de profesie) vine să demonstre...more

I had about 10 pages left to read before going away for 2 weeks and didn't want to carry a hardback. So I've sort of finished it. Trying to think of something more original or thoughtful to write than 'I liked it' but... okay, I liked it. It is the kind of book that I'm a bit tired of lately (interconnected anecdotes from a lot of different characters that don't really add up to a story), but I didn't mind it. My main issue with the book was that there was a bit too much offhand rape/forced sex...more

The first one I read by António Lobo Antunes. I was overwhelmed by his language and style. Antunes uses different voices to report the same event, so as to show us that each person perceives reality in his/her own way.
As Philip Roth so brilliantly once put it, 'Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts. '

I'd like to write a paper about this at some point, to study it properly as it deserves to be, but on a purely readerly level the musicality of his narrative impressed me, by which I mean his sustained (almost arousing) tempo -- not that other thing people mean by musicality (which amounts to praising a string of adjectives or 'images' muddled together willy-nilly.)
