Summary "A Invenção do Dia Claro" by José de Almada Negreiros is a collection of essays, likely written in the early 20th century. This reflective and philosophical work explores the relationship between humanity, knowledge, and creativity, delving into the nature of existence and the search for personal meaning. The book serves as an initiation for Portuguese readers into the realms of painting and art appreciation, blending personal musings with broader artistic concepts. The narrative unfolds through the author's dialogue, mixing introspection with observation as he contemplates the human condition, the significance of creation, and the role of language and words in human experience. He draws on vivid imagery, reflecting on moments from his childhood, examples of art, and scenes from everyday life, creating a rich tapestry of thoughts. Characters include the reflective author himself, alongside various metaphors for humanity depicted in illustrations. The work grapples with the duality of existence—light and darkness, thought and feeling—culminating in a call for individuals to embrace their own journeys and the unique "fortuna" that life presents them.
