Literature and the Word Metamorphosis: Vergílio Ferreira and the Adaptations of His Novels

Vergílio Ferreiras literary production aroused the interest of several filmmakers who wanted to adapt their novels to the cinema. Despite an initial reluctance, Vergílio Ferreira accepted and felt involved in the adaptations of the novels Cântico Final and Manh£ Submersa. However, adapting Vergílio Ferreiras writing proves to be a complex work because of the difficulties raised by the philosophical and aesthetic style of the author that do not favor an immediate translation into the cinema, so this whole process constitutes a true metamorphosis of the word.
