Abstract

Helder Macedo's sixth novel, Tão Logo Amor, Tão Curta a Vida, published in february 2013 in Lisbon, brings, as usual, strong female characters. Lenia, whose story is told by two narrators, shows different and even contradictory aspects during the tale's development. The author, an opera lover, created a main character that resembles Olympia/Giulietta/Antonia from Jacques Offenbach's 1881 opera "The tales of Hoffmann", studying the similitudes amog them illuminates important aspects of Macedo's novel.
