Sinopsis
A fierce, comic, and merciless portrait of nineteenth-century Portuguese society.
In The Rabble (A Corja), Camilo Castelo Branco returns to the world of Eusébio Macário with sharper irony, darker humor, and a devastating eye for hypocrisy. Priests, barons, social climbers, adulterers, political opportunists, ruined families, and provincial schemers move through a world where respectability is often only a costume—and where money, vanity, and desire expose the moral corruption beneath polite society.
Both satirical novel and social anatomy, The Rabble combines melodrama, farce, political caricature, and psychological cruelty with Camilo’s unmistakable verbal energy. Its characters are comic, grotesque, wounded, ridiculous, and painfully human. Through them, Camilo attacks false nobility, clerical decadence, bourgeois ambition, romantic illusion, and the machinery of public scandal.
This edition presents the work in English translation, preserving the intensity, irony, historical flavor, and biting wit of one of Portugal’s most brilliant nineteenth-century prose stylists.
A powerful choice for readers of European classics, literary satire, Portuguese literature, social realism, and darkly comic fiction.
