The novel Sinais de Fogo, by Jorge de Sena, promotes an interpenetration between individual experience - the love crisis the protagonist goes through, presented as a true psychological trauma - and collective experience - the historical crisis represented by the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and its first reflexes in Portugal -, relating the story of the protagonist and the History of Portugal. The crossing of experiences ends up being transformed into poetry, as a way to overcome the crisis that the hero, converted into a poet, performs at the end of the novel.References
