In this article, we will see that the love stories written by José Saramago in Memorial do Convento (1982) and História do Cerco de Lisboa (1989) consist in subtle and broad manifestations of feelings and affections that form the intimate contact virtues between men and women. With this, what we will observe in Saramago is a love materialized in the possibility of living because, as the writer himself declare in the book-interview made by Juan Arias, Saramago: o amor possível, from the year 2000, the love represented in his narratives is always “possible”, without excessive suffering or unrealizable tasks, far, therefore, from the conventional representations that are attached to the physical and idealizers aspects of love relationships.
