Abstract

The aim of the study is to present the various facets of reality and fiction of beach crime of Guincho (1960) - the assassination of captain Almeida Santos, one of the leaders of the Coup de la Sé (1959) to overthrow Salazar 's dictatorship - the Portuguese public opinion and that motivated the writing of the Ballad of the Beach of the Dogs (1982), of Jose Cardoso Pires. The polyphonic narrative, which will be analyzed according to Hutcheon and Todorov's reflections, evokes the atmosphere of fear and violence in Lisbon, and reveals the rupture of established paradigms of the novel, merging varied records: police files, reports and reports with jargon and forensic legal research and medicine; texts and intertexts: explanatory footnotes on the biography of characters and historical events, news from newspapers, leaflets, etc.

Keywords: Portuguese literature; José Cardoso Pires; Ballad of the Beach of the Dogs; history; fiction.
