Abstract(s)
Aquilino Ribeiro foi um intelectual, um escritor prestigiado, mas também um homem de ação, que nasceu no último quartel do século XIX, numa remota e periférica aldeia das Beiras, região que marcou para sempre a sua vida e obra literária. Influenciado por uma educação de matriz católica, até porque o seu pai era padre, frequentou o seminário de Beja, mas acabou por abandoná-lo em 1903.
Já em Lisboa, viveu o ambiente fervilhante da revolução que se avizinhava, conviveu com os republicanos radicais, de filiação maçónica, mas também carbonária, desenvolveu uma ação panfletária contra a Monarquia Constitucional, inspirou-se nas leituras de anarquistas como Jean Grave ou Kropoktine e forjou o seu ideário republicano nas famigeradas tertúlias dos cafés lisboetas.
Do seu currículo fazem parte três exílios em França, duas rocambolescas evasões de calabouços nacionais, bem como a participação direta em revoltas republicanas, primeiro contra a Monarquia Constitucional e depois contra a Ditadura Militar. Em 1959, o Estado Novo salazarista instruiu-lhe um processo-crime, em virtude da publicação do romance Quando os lobos uivam. É esse percurso, em tempo de ditadura, que nos propomos aqui reconstituir, à luz de um exercício problematizador e objetivo, construído fundamentalmente a partir das fontes primárias consultadas.
Um percurso de vida de um homem, que teve como programa de vida (o grande sentido da sua existência) ser escritor em exclusividade, num país pouco povoado, marcado por elevadas taxas de analfabetismo e onde os direitos de autor eram quase uma miragem. Numa época, acrescente-se, marcada pela censura e pela repressão.
A nossa representação desse percurso, também marcado por sombras e luzes, pretende afirmar-se como mais um contributo para desvendar a vida de um mestre lido, admirado e recomendado, até mesmo por António de Oliveira Salazar.
Aquilino Ribeiro was an intellectual, a prestigious writer, but also a man of action, born in the last quarter of the 19th century, in a remote and peripheral village of Beiras, a region that has marked his life and literary work forever. Influenced by a Catholic education (his father was a priest), he attended the seminary in Beja, but abandoned it in 1903. In Lisbon, he lived the seething atmosphere of the upcoming revolution, and the radical republicans, of Masonic affiliation, but also carbonaria, developed a pamphlet against the Constitutional Monarchy, was inspired by the readings of anarchists like Jean Grave or Kropoktine and he forged his Republican ideology in the infamous tertulias of Lisbon cafes. From his resume were three exiles in France, two rocambolescas evasions of national dungeons, as well as direct participation in republican revolts, first against the Constitutional Monarchy and then against the Military Dictatorship. In 1959, the Salazarist New State instructed him a criminal process, due to the release of the novel When the Wolves Howl.It is this journey, in time of dictatorship, that we propose here to reconstitute, in the light of a problematic and objective exercise, constructed fundamentally from the primary sources consulted. The course of a man whose life program (the great meaning of his existence) was to be an exclusive writer in a sparsely populated country marked by high rates of illiteracy and where copyright was almost one mirage; at one time, add, marked by censorship and repression. Our representation of this route, also marked by shadows and lights, intends to assert itself as another contribution to unveil the life of a master read, admired and recommended, even by Antonio de Oliveira Salazar.
