Abstract
Miguel Torga’s Diário constitutes a unique work in the context of Portuguese literature. Divided in 16 volumes published over 60 years of the XX Century, Diario gives its reader access to several topics of reflection dear to the author. Among these, the topic of landscape is of particular interest, given the originality of its crisscrossing with writing, rurality, the body, technological progress, and Portugal itself. These considerations notwithstanding, Diário does not present a clear and univocal definition of landscape. Given this absence, it is our goal to grasp, in dialogue with other authors, the concept of landscape which Torga himself had in mind. Finally, we will attempt to articulate Torga’s reflections on landscape with the act of diary writing and the related heuristic process of self-gnosis. In consequence, the way in which Diário foreshadows a call for and a valorization of the virtues accompanying a telluric rooting should become clear.
