Em Quatrocentos mil sestércios, Mário de Carvalho reconstrói o panorama cultural, histórico e literário de uma província romana na Península Ibérica, que equivale ao século II d. C. A narrativa, ao dialogar com a comédia de Plauto, com os romances latinos de Petrônio e Apuleio, apresenta, por meio da paródia e da ironia, um mundo fictício, que apesar de remoto, permite a reflexão e a crítica das instituições, do homem e do mundo atual. O que aproxima a narrativa latina da portuguesa é, seguramente, o tema da viagem, através do qual o personagem passa a se conhecer de fato, tema que esse artigo se propõe a analisar.
In Quatrocentos mil sestércios, Mário de Carvalho reconstructs the cultural historical and literary outlook of a Roman province in the Iberian Peninsula, which cross-refers to the second century BC. The narrative, when dialogues with the comedy of Plautus, with the Latin novels of Petronius and with Apuleius present a fictional world through parody and irony, which, although remote, allows a reflection and a criticism of institutions, of men and of the world today. Our analysis will focus, therefore, in the intertextual relationship with the classics, particularly among the episode's dinner in the village of Proclus in Mario de Carvalho, and Trimalchionis Scene in Petronius.
