RESUMO
This study tries to research the storybook Bichos (1940), by the portuguese modernist writer Miguel Torga, literary pseudonym of Adolfo Correia Rocha, the cosmovision of the author who emerges from the land-based theme (Nature) and a series of reflections about the human condition, from which also brings out a new conception of humanism. We depart from the principle that, in the narratives, the man is in a "civilized" society, corrupted by the values of his time, away out of proportion to their origin and to find a meaning to his existence, man has to return to his origin (to Nature, which appears in the tales within a pantheistic perspective). Returning to the origin, through contact with one another, that is, living beings who live integrated with nature, man will "wake up" and will "relearn" to use his sensibility and will bring to his reason. Turning thus to live in a fraternal and balanced with all universe beings as a way to soften the harshness of the human existential path, marked, for example: by anguish and loneliness. To give consistency to this study, we use as theoretical support authors, as Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre; the french sociologist Michel Maffesoli; Mikhail Bakhtin; Marc Augé, and others who contribute significantly for the analysis and discussion of the theme.
