Abstract

Todos Os Nomes tells the protagonist’s voyage to the dead men’s world. In spite of the fact that many of the descensus ad inferos’s topics recurs, the author presents another world with no faith, with no hope, where life has neither rewards nor punishments. It’s rather about today’s profane, layman and secular other world, in which a disintegration of the classical mythology has taken place to integrate it into the characteristic, disenchanted Saramago’s universe.
