Ali se mudou a aventura… O imaginário mítico no pensamento de Luís Krus by Carlos F. Clamote Carreto

“…From “A morte das fadas” (1985) to the study of “uma variante peninsular do mito de Melusina” (1994), through the reflections on “As origens lendárias dos condes de Trastâmara” (1992), the myth – as a dynamic structure which creates and organizes an unified vision of the world – echoes repeatedly and obsessively in the thought of Luís Krus.

This paper argues that a closer look at the judicial archives shows a somewhat different picture. …”
