Resumo(s)
A presente dissertação de Mestrado apresenta o escritor madeirense Carlos
Martins, a partir da sua vida e obra, evidenciando a sua relevância na literatura madeirense
do século XX. Destaca os momentos marcantes da vida do escritor, as viagens que fez e
o seu modo de vida singular, sem deixar de salientar a intersecção entre a sua vida e a
obra.
A partir dos seus romances, A Grande Paixão do Padre Abel Caim e O Grande
Amor da Irmã Elsa, que constituem o corpus desta dissertação, caraterizamos de um
ponto de vista social e cultural a Madeira do século XX, mais concretamente os anos
cinquenta e sessenta, revelando algumas das complexidades sociais e culturais da ilha.
A ficção de Carlos Martins mostra um Funchal luminoso e cosmopolita a
contrastar com as zonas rurais da ilha, pobres e apartadas do centro urbano pela falta de
meios, sem deixar de evidenciar a hipocrisia, a inveja e o cinismo que carateriza a maioria
das relações sociais.
Entendendo a literatura como cosmovisão de uma época e de uma sociedade, esta
dissertação demonstra como a obra de Carlos Martins é reveladora da estratificação
social, do desajuste cultural e do preconceito. A partir da visão do autor sobre a sociedade
conservadora, atávica e em conflito, são analisados alguns preconceitos sociais do seu
tempo, vivencias sociais e mentalidades, no período a que se reportam os enredos textuais,
que procuraremos confirmar a partir do seu corpus desta dissertação.
This master's thesis delves into the life and work of Madeiran writer Carlos Martins, highlighting his relevance in Madeiran literature of the 20th century. It analyses the remarkable moments in the writer's life, the trips he took, and his unique way of life, picking up on the overlap that can be identified between his personal life and his work. Two of his novels, A Grande Paixão do Padre Abel Cain and O Grande Amor da Irmã Elsa, are at the core of this dissertation and will serve as a basis to characterize Madeira in the 20th century from a social and cultural standpoint, specifically during the fifties and sixties. They reveal some of the island's social and cultural complexities. Carlos Martins's fiction shows a bright and cosmopolitan Funchal that feels antonymous with the rural areas of Madeira, poor and separated from the urban center due to lack of resources. It draws light to the hypocrisy, envy, and cynicism that characterize most social relations. This thesis proposes that the worldview of a time and society, as written down in literature, represents contemporary social stratification, cultural maladjustment, and prejudice. The author's depiction of a conservative, atavistic, and conflicted society is taken to signify social prejudices of his time, social experiences, and mentalities.
