Abstract
The article focuses on the study of three short stories by the angolan writer Jose Eduardo Agualusa (1960-): Se nada mais der certo leia Clarice , Catalogo de sombras and Livre-arbitrio , which are part of his book Manual pratico de levitacao (2005). We will seek to highlight the presence of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) and his heteronyms, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Alvaro de Campos in the three short stories mentioned, guided by Agualusa’s own considerations, trying to establish, through his books, a regular dialogue between African, Brazilian and Portuguese literature, according to his stance of spreading culture and in particular the African literature to the world, diluting boundaries that can separate the literature of Portuguese-speaking. In the analyzes of the selected texts, we employ as theoretical support the writings by Julia Kristeva (1974), Leyla Perrone-Moises (1990), Tiphaine Samoyault (2008) and Laurent Jenny (1979) .

Summary
O artigo centra-se no estudo de três contos do escritor angolano José Eduardo Agualusa (1960-): Se nada mais der certo leia Clarice, Catálogo de sombras e Livre-arbítrio, que fazem parte do seu livro Manual prático de levitação (2005). Buscaremos evidenciar a presença do poeta português Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) e de seus heterônimos, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis e Álvaro de Campos, nos três contos mencionados, pautados por considerações do próprio Agualusa, que procura estabelecer, por meio de sua obra, um diálogo frequente entre as literaturas africana, brasileira e portuguesa, em conformidade com a sua postura de divulgar a cultura e, em particular, a literatura africana para o mundo, diluindo fronteiras que possam separar as literaturas de expressão portuguesa.
