QR code
"A Queda d'um Anjo: Romance" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a satirical novel written in 1866. It follows Calisto Elói, a conservative nobleman from the Portuguese province who embodies old Portugal's austere values. When elected to parliament, he travels to Lisboa, where the capital's luxury and pleasures begin to corrupt him. He becomes entangled with his Brazilian cousin Ifigénia, abandons his political principles, and neglects his wife Teodora—who soon mirrors his moral
decline. This comedic work satirizes Portuguese social and political life through its flawed characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
