Sinopsis

A rediscovered Portuguese romantic novel, now presented in a refined English translation.

Set amid the tranquil landscapes, riverbanks, gardens, and religious retreats of nineteenth-century Portugal, Idylls by the Water follows the emotional awakening of Eduardo Valladares, a young poet whose sensitive imagination transforms love, nature, faith, and memory into a single lyrical experience.

Alberto Pimentel’s novel blends romance, pastoral beauty, moral reflection, and psychological delicacy. Beneath its serene title lies a story of youthful idealism, hidden sorrow, spiritual longing, and the fragile boundary between dream and reality. With its graceful descriptions, old-world atmosphere, and distinctly Portuguese sensibility, the book offers modern readers a window into a literary world shaped by Romanticism, Catholic devotion, family honor, and the melancholy charm of bygone Portugal.

This edition preserves the structure and tone of the original work while presenting it in clear, elegant English for contemporary readers. It is especially suited for lovers of classic European literature, Portuguese fiction, historical romance, and forgotten nineteenth-century novels awaiting rediscovery
