Camilo Castelo Branco

Camilo Castelo Branco (16 March 1825 – 1 June 1890), was a prolific Portuguese writer of the 19th century, having produced over 260 books (mainly novels, plays and essays). 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 (and ultimately tragical) life.

Camilo Castelo Branco foi um escritor, romancista, cronista, crítico, dramaturgo, historiador, poeta e tradutor português. É um dos escritores mais populares, proeminentes e prolíferos da literatura portuguesa.
