«Amor de perdición» is the Portuguese Romantic novel by Camilo Castelo Branco, published by Planeta in paperback (207 pages, in Spanish).
The young Simão Botelho and Teresa de Albuquerque belong to feuding families, and their clandestine love clashes with honor, revenge and the conventions of 19th-century Portuguese society. The novel portrays an impossible relationship marked by destiny and fatality, where passion opposes duty.
It belongs to the Planeta Universal Classics collection (no. 183); 1990 edition with an introduction by Elena Losada and translation by Ángel Fernández de los Ríos. Original title: Amor de Perdição.
For readers aged 12 and over interested in Romantic classics and stories of impossible love.
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.
