Bessa Luís; Os super homens - LUÍS (Agustina Bessa) OS SUPER-HOMENS . Ilustrações de A. Luís. Coimbra, Porto: Livraria Portugália, 1950. 293 pp.: il.; 190 mm. Agustina Bessa Luís' second published novel, Os Super-Homens (The Supermans) , marks many of the themes that would define her work: the merciless observation of the provincial bourgeoisie, the power games within the family, and the tension between individual ambition and social conventions. A rare and youthful work, it provoked intense controversy at the time with the critic Jaime Brasil, contributing to establishing the author as one of the most unique and combative voices in 20th-century Portuguese literature. !
