«Amour de perdition» is the romantic novel by Camilo Castelo Branco published by Actes Sud in paperback, in French.
The novel recounts the tragic love between Simão Botelho and Teresa de Albuquerque, two young people from feuding families who must overcome many obstacles to be together. Set in the nineteenth century, it addresses forbidden love, family honor and the consequences of acting on impulse, in a romantic and fatalistic story.
The novel was originally published in 1862. This French edition, translated from Portuguese, was published in 2000 in the Babel collection of Actes Sud.
This book is aimed at those looking for classics of Romanticism and Portuguese literature.
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.
