Junta-se ao Movimento de Unidade Democrática (MUD), que se opunha ao regime do Estado Novo, e filia-se no Partido Comunista, escrevendo artigos no jornal O Diabo.

Introduziu o neo-realismo em Portugal com o romance Gaibéus (1939), nome dado aos camponeses da Beira que iam fazer a ceifa do arroz ao Ribatejo, em meados do século XX.

- A vida não dormita. Cada domínio gera uma decadência. Um século de quietude está a germinar um minuto de convulsão.”
