«A Queda Dum Anjo» is the Portuguese Romanticism novel by Camilo Castelo Branco, published by Editora Ulisseia in paperback (250 pages, in Portuguese).
A virtuous man clashes with the tensions of 19th-century Portuguese society: the contrast between his ideals and reality triggers a fall narrated with irony. The work balances drama and sentiment with sarcasm, bitterness and black humor, and portrays characters marked by the contradictions of their environment.
Work originally published in 1866. This 1998 edition includes an introduction by Maria de Santa Cruz and belongs to the Biblioteca Ulisseia de Autores Portugueses collection.
For readers of classics and 19th-century Portuguese literature; also used as school reading.
Camilo Castelo Branco, 1st Viscount of Correia Botelho, was a prolific Portuguese writer of the 19th century, having produced over 260 books. His writing is considered original in that it combines the dramatic and sentimental spirit of Romanticism with a highly personal combination of sarcasm, bitterness and dark humour. He is also celebrated for his peculiar wit and anecdotal character, as well as for his turbulent life.
