Manuel de Lima; Um homem de barbas - LIMA (Manuel de) UM HOMEM de Barbas . Prefácio de José de Almada Negreiros; desenhos de Bernardo Marques. Lisboa: ed. autor, 1944. 108 pp.: il.; 215 mm. FIRST EDITION of the debut work by Manuel de Lima, one of the great exponents of Portuguese surrealism. Constantly appealing to the implausible, the action of this novel takes place in a fantastical environment, using linguistic resources dear to the surrealists. Fátima Marinho states that “Manuel de Lima plays an important role in Portuguese surrealizing (and why not surrealist?) prose, making use above all of humor (and its multiple facets) to make any realistic approach impossible.” (Surrealism in Portugal, pp. 176-177).
