Set in the aftermath of the “Carnation Revolution” of April 25, 1974, Antonio Lobo Antunes’s Warning to the Crocodiles is a fragmented narrative of the violent tensions resulting from major political changes in Portugal. Told through the memories of four women who spend their days fashioning homemade explosives and participating in the kidnap and torture of communists, the novel details the clandestine activities of an extreme right-wing Salazarist faction resisting the country’s new embrace of democracy. Warning to the Crocodiles (Exortação aos Crocodilos) has won: - Best Novel by the Portuguese Writers Association (Grande Prémio de Romance e Novela da Associação Portuguesa de Escritores) (1999) - The D. Dinis Prize of the Casa de Mateus Foundation (Prémio D. Dinis da Fundação Casa de Mateus) (1999) - The Austrian State Literature Prize (Prémio de Literatura Europeia do Estado Austríaco) (2000)

For over 250 million years, the "crocodile" in the sense of a form of life occupied the top of the food pyramid between water and land. However, this included many different species, most of which were not linearly descended from each other despite enormous similarity. Often, they were even only very distantly related in the huge family tree of reptiles. Now Steffen Pichler shows that this pronounced convergence must be grounded above all in a recurrent selective orientation towards one specific goal: namely, the broadest possible "ecological harmony". Based on years of observations of free saltwater crocodiles in northern Australia and the evaluation of palaeontological studies, he proves that this manifested seamlessly in every aspect of physique and behaviour. The heavy body can glide almost turbulence-free on mirror-smooth water surfaces. The all-day existence is so extremely unobtrusive and quiet that disturbances caused to other creatures are close to zero. The killing of prey is done in an utmost surprising way and mostly within seconds. In addition, there are many positive effects, such as those as "health police" through the automatic selection of diseased fish or even that of an indirect "protector" of the well-rehearsed ecosystem against disruptive intruders. The author explains that with real observation and a little "thinking around the corner", the ecological harmony of the crocodile becomes as obvious that there can be no stable counterarguments and that even the best engineer could not find any potential for an optimization. However, in the public alienated from nature, artificial factors like focused slow-motion films of the mostly tiny moments of killing prey form the dominant impression. This and some other distracting influences make not only the layman miss a chance to use the crocodile for very deep insights. Pichler shows how the reflection of the crocodile form reveals a whole structure of most fundamental natural laws, which were literally missed by the civilising sciences, although their exploration would have been of highest importance for mankind. And he takes the logical conclusion so far that it eventually even reaches beyond the boundaries of space and time.

« J'ai décidé de ne faire un livre qu'avec des femmes. Après la révolution, il y a eu un climat de guerre civile. Un mouvement d'extrême droite a tué beaucoup de gens, notamment le Premier ministre Sá Carneiro. Pendant un an, ce mouvement a été dirigé par l'ex-président de la République, le général Spinola. Je raconte cette période vue par les femmes de ces personnages masculins, les crocodiles, ces femmes à qui on ne disait pas tout. Ce sont choses supposées, devinées, qui sont évoquées par ces épouses, ces maîtresses, ces veuves. Cela permet plusieurs registres. C'est un beau défi de ne prendre que des femmes. L'une est sourde, l'autre a un cancer, une autre est très grosse. Les crocodiles, ça vient d'un texte de Tchouang-tseu où il exhorte ces bêtes-là.» (Antonio Lobo Antunes, 1998)
