Resumen de Biblical Allegory and Antisalazarism in Miguel Torga's Contos da Montanha and Novos Contos da Montanha

James Hussar

• Miguel Torga (1907-1995) lived and wrote under António de Oliveira Salazar's 40-year authoritarian regime (1933-1974). Many critics acknowledge that Torga's poetry and fiction register his opposition to Salazar's Estado Novo. Beyond recogninizing this historical, political and social backdrop, however, few analyze the rethorical strategies that Torga uses to criticize Salazar's dictatorship.
