Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A fierce, visionary account of Portugal under Napoleon's shadow, now available in English.In King Junot, Portuguese modernist writer Raul Brandão turns the French invasion of Portugal into something far greater than a military episode. This is not a conventional history of generals, treatie…s, and campaigns; it is a dramatic meditation on fear, decadence, revolt, faith, empire, and the suffering of ordinary people caught in the machinery of power.At the center of the book stands Jean-Andoche Junot, Napoleon's general, who entered Lisbon in 1807 and briefly ruled Portugal in the name of imperial France. Around him Brandão gathers a vast and unforgettable cast: Napoleon, the Portuguese royal court fleeing to Brazil, frightened ministers, compromised nobles, friars, soldiers, peasants, satirists, conspirators, and the restless crowds of Lisbon and the provinces.Written in Brandão's intense, poetic, and often prophetic prose, King Junot blends historical documentation with literary force. It evokes the collapse of an old world and the birth of a new one through invasion, humiliation, popular resistance, and political awakening. The result is a powerful work of historical literature: part chronicle, part essay, part national tragedy.This complete English translation brings to modern readers one of Raul Brandão's most striking works - a book essential for anyone interested in the Napoleonic Wars, the Peninsular War, Portuguese history, literary history, and the drama of Europe in revolution.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A moonlit river. A woman in white, playing the harp from a drifting boat. A hidden cave, a whispered legend, and a queen who seems to belong to no ordinary world.In The Queen of the Unknown, Emilia Freitas blends Gothic mystery, romantic obsession, social critique, and visionary fantasy into… a singular novel of secret identities and hidden power. When the young lawyer Edmundo becomes fascinated by the enigmatic woman known as "the Ill-Fated One," his curiosity draws him into a labyrinth of illusions, coded messages, disguises, and revelations. Beneath the novel's haunting atmosphere lies something even more daring: a female-led utopian order devoted to justice, mercy, and resistance against cruelty.By turns lyrical, uncanny, political, and philosophical, this pioneering Brazilian classic offers readers a rare literary experience-part mystery, part feminist fantasy, part spiritual allegory. This edition presents the complete English translation, inviting modern readers to rediscover one of the most original works of nineteenth-century Brazilian literature. The novel was published in 1899 and is widely regarded as a pioneering Brazilian fantasy/speculative work centered on a women-led utopian society. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A haunting literary reimagining of Judas Iscariot, rendered in a lyrical and dramatic prose that gives voice to one of the most enigmatic figures in biblical history.First published in Lisbon in 1901, Judas: A Lyrical Romance in Four Journeys is Augusto de Lacerda's bold meditation on betray…al, conscience, desire, faith, and destiny. Rather than presenting Judas merely as a symbol of treachery, Lacerda explores him as a tormented human being caught between spiritual longing, political expectation, personal passion, and the terrible weight of history.Structured in four "journeys," the novel unfolds with the cadence of a sacred drama. Its language is poetic, intense, and theatrical, moving through the atmosphere of ancient Jerusalem while examining the moral abyss that separates devotion from disillusionment. Readers interested in biblical fiction, literary classics, theological imagination, and psychological portraits of misunderstood figures will find in this work a rare and powerful rediscovery from Portuguese literature.This English edition brings a classic to new readers, preserving the solemn beauty and emotional force of Lacerda's original vision.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A haunting Renaissance classic of love, exile, memory, and longing-now available in English.Saudades: The Story of a Maiden and a Young Woman is one of the great early works of Portuguese prose fiction and a landmark of Iberian pastoral literature. Written by Bernardim Ribeiro in the sixteen…th century, this deeply lyrical romance opens with one of the most memorable voices in Portuguese letters: a young woman, taken far from home, looking back upon a life transformed by love, loss, and remembrance.Blending pastoral beauty, courtly emotion, philosophical melancholy, and the uniquely Portuguese feeling of saudade, Ribeiro creates a world where memory is more powerful than presence, love is inseparable from suffering, and every story seems to echo another hidden grief. The novel moves through confessions, encounters, and tales of devotion, revealing a delicate emotional landscape in which the inner life becomes the true setting of the narrative.This English translation preserves the solemn cadence, poetic density, and antique tenderness of the original while making the work accessible to modern readers. For lovers of Renaissance literature, early European fiction, Portuguese classics, and meditative stories of longing, Saudades offers a rare encounter with one of the foundational voices of Portugal's literary imagination.A timeless book for readers drawn to love, memory, solitude, and the beauty of sorrow.

The Unfortunate: Stories from Life is an English translation of Infelizes: Historias Vividas, a remarkable collection by Portuguese writer and feminist pioneer Ana de Castro Osorio. Through a series of intimate and deeply human stories, Osorio gives literary voice to those often pushed to th…e margins of society: poor women, abandoned children, servants, the elderly, rural workers, widows, nuns, mothers, and solitary figures marked by poverty, illness, injustice, and loss.Written with moral clarity and emotional restraint, these stories reveal a world shaped by rigid social expectations, gender inequality, class hardship, religious custom, and rural dispossession.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback.

Around Victor Hugo gather widows, daughters, opportunists, lovers, creditors, and avengers-each revealing, in turn, the comic and tragic machinery of reputation, desire, money, and power.This English edition presents the complete work in a carefully prepared translation, preserving the author's satirical force, narrative energy, and distinctive moral intelligence.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A lost Portuguese classic of passion, exile, and ambition in the New World.Joao da Silveira leaves Portugal behind after the fall of the monarchy, carrying with him the wounded pride of an old aristocratic world and the restless hunger for a new destiny. Aboard the transatlantic steamer boun…d for South America, he enters a shifting world of exiles, fortune-seekers, cosmopolitan travelers, immigrants, and women whose presence awakens both desire and danger.In Creole Love: Argentine Life, Abel Botelho turns his sharp naturalist eye toward the Atlantic crossing, Buenos Aires, and the vast Argentine landscape. The novel moves from shipboard society to urban speculation, from aristocratic nostalgia to the raw promise of the pampas, offering a vivid portrait of early twentieth-century life between Portugal and Argentina.Sensual, ironic, socially observant, and psychologically acute, this unfinished novel reveals Botelho at the height of his descriptive power. Preserved as an incomplete posthumous work, it remains a fascinating fragment of Portuguese literary naturalism and a rare fictional encounter between Europe and South America.This edition presents a carefully revised English translation, with translator's notes, a preface, and an afterword that situates the work in its historical and literary context.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. First published in 1882, The City of Vice is a fierce, lyrical, and unsettling collection of stories by Fialho de Almeida, one of the most original voices in nineteenth-century Portuguese literature. Moving between the sun-scorched countryside of the Alentejo and the gas-lit shadows of Lisbo…n, these stories reveal a world of poverty, desire, illness, cruelty, superstition, and moral decay - but also of strange beauty, tenderness, and tragic grandeur.Fialho's prose is rich, sensual, and uncompromising. In these pages, pastoral landscapes turn violent, hospitals become chambers of horror, children and workers are crushed by social indifference, and the city itself appears as a living organism: feverish, corrupt, magnificent, and doomed. His vision belongs to the great European naturalist tradition, yet his style is uniquely his own - baroque, poetic, grotesque, and intensely visual.This edition includes a translator's preface, afterword, and explanatory notes designed to guide modern English-language readers through the historical, cultural, and literary world of nineteenth-century Portugal.For readers of Emile Zola, Eca de Queiros, Guy de Maupassant, Charles Dickens, and the darker side of Victorian realism, The City of Vice offers a powerful rediscovery: a book at once brutal, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A bold, unsettling, and darkly witty novel from one of Brazil's great nineteenth-century masters.First published in 1896, A Mother-in-Law's Book is one of Aluisio de Azevedo's most provocative and least conventional works. At first glance, it appears to be a domestic comedy about the most fe…ared figure in family life: the mother-in-law. But beneath its ironic surface lies a daring psychological novel about marriage, desire, motherhood, social convention, and the impossible search for lasting happiness.When a bachelor narrator visits his old friend Leandro, he expects to hear the usual complaints about Leandro's tyrannical mother-in-law. Instead, he finds a man who reveres her memory. The explanation lies in a mysterious manuscript left behind by Olympia, a fiercely intelligent woman who devoted her life to protecting her daughter from the disappointments of ordinary marriage.Through Olympia's voice, Azevedo constructs a startling critique of domestic life, exposing the tensions between love and habit, passion and respect, freedom and social respectability. Equal parts satire, confession, philosophical argument, and psychological drama, A Mother-in-Law's Book reveals a forgotten side of Brazilian Naturalism: intimate, ironic, uncomfortable, and astonishingly modern.This edition presents the novel in English translation, with an introduction, afterword, and translator's notes designed to guide contemporary readers through its cultural, historical, and linguistic context.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A forgotten Portuguese historical romance of exploration, loyalty, and impossible love-now available in English.Before Vasco da Gama reached India by sea, Portugal had already sent secret envoys into the unknown. Among them was Pero da Covilha traveler, diplomat, spy, and one of the most rem…arkable figures of the Age of Discovery.In Pero da Covilha A Romantic Episode of the Fifteenth Century, Zephyrino Brandao blends history and fiction to recreate the world of late medieval Portugal, Spain, the Mediterranean, Arabia, India, and Abyssinia. Sent by King Joao II on a perilous mission to discover the routes of the spice trade and gather news of the legendary Christian kingdom of Prester John, Pero da Covilha leaves behind the woman he loves and enters a world of courts, conspiracies, merchants, deserts, pilgrimages, and distant empires.This richly atmospheric novel follows not only the outward journey of a man across continents, but also the inward drama of fidelity, sacrifice, and longing. Combining romantic sensibility with historical imagination, Brandao gives literary form to one of Portugal's most fascinating explorers: a man who helped prepare the way for the maritime discoveries, yet whose own destiny unfolded far from home.This edition presents the complete English translation of the original Portuguese work, preserving its nineteenth-century elegance while making the narrative accessible to modern readers.Perfect for readers of historical fiction, Portuguese literature, exploration narratives, and the dramatic beginnings of the Age of Discovery.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A forgotten queen. A disputed throne. A kingdom divided by ambition, bloodline, and war.Queen Without a Kingdom brings to English-language readers Alberto Pimentel's dramatic historical study of fifteenth-century Iberia: a world of royal marriages, dynastic suspicion, court intrigue, militar…y disaster, and political betrayal.At the heart of the book stands the tragic figure of Joanna, the princess whose claim to the throne of Castile became the center of one of the most consequential succession struggles in Iberian history. Born into a court poisoned by rumor and factional ambition, she was proclaimed heir, rejected by powerful nobles, and ultimately caught between Portugal and Castile, between legitimacy and accusation, between crown and convent.With the narrative force of nineteenth-century historical prose, Pimentel reconstructs the political drama surrounding King Henry IV of Castile, Queen Joanna of Portugal, Afonso V of Portugal, Isabella of Castile, and the contested succession that helped reshape the future of Spain and Portugal. This edition preserves the seriousness of the original work while presenting it in clear, polished English for modern readers.Ideal for readers of medieval history, royal biographies, Iberian politics, and historical tragedy, Queen Without a Kingdom is both a portrait of a woman denied power and a study of how dynastic conflict can alter the fate of nations.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A fierce, visionary account of Portugal under Napoleon's shadow, now available in English.In King Junot, Portuguese modernist writer Raul Brandao turns the French invasion of Portugal into something far greater than a military episode. This is not a conventional history of generals, treaties…, and campaigns; it is a dramatic meditation on fear, decadence, revolt, faith, empire, and the suffering of ordinary people caught in the machinery of power.At the center of the book stands Jean-Andoche Junot, Napoleon's general, who entered Lisbon in 1807 and briefly ruled Portugal in the name of imperial France. Around him Brandao gathers a vast and unforgettable cast: Napoleon, the Portuguese royal court fleeing to Brazil, frightened ministers, compromised nobles, friars, soldiers, peasants, satirists, conspirators, and the restless crowds of Lisbon and the provinces.Written in Brandao's intense, poetic, and often prophetic prose, King Junot blends historical documentation with literary force. It evokes the collapse of an old world and the birth of a new one through invasion, humiliation, popular resistance, and political awakening. The result is a powerful work of historical literature: part chronicle, part essay, part national tragedy.This complete English translation brings to modern readers one of Raul Brandao's most striking works - a book essential for anyone interested in the Napoleonic Wars, the Peninsular War, Portuguese history, literary history, and the drama of Europe in revolution.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A forgotten Portuguese historical novel of love, loyalty, and civil war - now translated into English.The Heroes of Mindelo brings readers into one of the most turbulent moments in nineteenth-century Portugal: the Liberal Wars, when absolutists and constitutionalists struggled for the future… of the nation.

A powerful tale of love, inheritance, downfall, and moral reckoning from one of Portugal's greatest nineteenth-century novelists.In The Archdeacon's Granddaughter, Camilo Castelo Branco weaves a dramatic story marked by family secrets, social ambition, spiritual anguish, and the tragic conse…quences of desire ungoverned by conscience.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A lost jewel of Portuguese Romantic fiction, now available in English.In early nineteenth-century Lisbon, Francisco Lourenco Gomes is more than a humble shoemaker: he is a man possessed by poetry, ambition, and the desire to rise beyond the limits imposed upon him by birth. His admiration fo…r the celebrated poet Bocage draws him into a world where wit, vanity, social aspiration, and private sorrow are never far apart.But the true drama of Needle in a Haystack unfolds through the next generation. Fernando, Francisco's son, enters a wider European stage of exile, passion, secrecy, and wounded pride. His love for Paulina is tested by family ambition, aristocratic prejudice, political suspicion, and the cruel weight of social origin. Around them move fathers, suitors, diplomats, convents, letters, and reputations-each one tightening the moral and emotional knot.Camilo Castelo Branco combines satire, melancholy, psychological insight, and dramatic irony in a novel that moves from Lisbon to Italy and beyond. At once a romance of frustrated love and a sharp portrait of class anxiety, Needle in a Haystack reveals one of Portugal's greatest nineteenth-century novelists at his most elegant and incisive.This edition presents a complete English translation of Agulha em Palheiro, with editorial care intended for modern readers while preserving the intensity, irony, and emotional cadence of the original.
